In Windows it is not possible to have a static initialized mutex as of
now, but that seems to be painful for the upcoming refactoring of the
attribute subsystem, as we have no good place to put the initialization
of the attr global lock.

Please rewrite the attribute system such that it can have a dynamic 
initialization. If you find a global initialization in main() too gross 
(I would agree) then setup_git_directory() might be the right place.
