I carry essentially the same patch in Git for Windows for a while now (more than a year, to be a little preciser): https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/commit/42c6f1c943a (but it seems that I either missed one when I wrote that commit, or I missed when it was introduced) There are more dashed forms in Git's code base, still, see e.g. https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/commit/4b3fc41b117 https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/commit/c47a29c373c I would *love* to see those go away. FWIW I had originally also "undashed" the use of `git-receive-pack`, but that breaks things, as the dashed form was unfortunately baked into the protocol (which is of course a design mistake even if Linus still denies it). It would go a long way to help with platforms and packaging methods where hardlinks are simply inconvenient. Because we could then finally get rid of (almost) all those hardlinked builtins.
