I should not do this, because you cost me already too much time with your 
outrageous proposal to rewrite history just for that stupid platform 
called Windows, whose users seem to complain more than actually 
contribute, but here it goes:

The corresponding patch:

[PATCH] Fix t5100 for Windows

On Windows, "nul" is not allowed as a file name.  So bend over for that
platform even more than we do already.
