Two complaints. * What does this have to do with Windows port? Please don't hide a general interface change in a larger and mostly unrelated topic. * Do you think people can tell without reading the code in larger context outside the patch and this commit log text if you are talking about the case you fetch _into_ an empty repository, or if you are attempting to fetch _from_ an empty repository, or what? Please try to be a bit easier for _readers_. Being more redundant and verbose is better than being too concise. About the first point, "no common commits" is just a friendly reminder and not even an error. When you see it, you will learn to expect looooooooong download session. I personally happen to agree with the logic of this patch, though --- if you are fetching into an empty repository, you would already expect that the download is as big as the other end anyway, so you would not need to be further reminded about that. But that is just one-man's opinion. Maybe somebody knows a reason why I am (and the logic I am agreeing with is) wrong. Maybe not. So make the "remainder of Windows port" series 11 commits, and send this as a general interface fix via the normal channel to be discussed, please.
