I don't know if Windows supports external attributes, but the code in the patch falls back to the .etag files in case g_file_set_attribute_string or g_file_info_get_attribute_string fail. The code depends on glib handling the complete xattr stuff. I've tested the glib-compiled-without-xattr-support and filesystem-without-xattr-support case on Linux and I expect the result to be the same on Windows.
