Git on Windows is sometimes maddeningly slow compared to on Linux. Now that we are on a relatively new version of git and now that git-for-windows seems to be interested in patches for Windows issues it is a good time to see what can be done.

We are currently using https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.7.4.windows.1

but we don't have symbols for that release.

The Git Windows SDK is described here:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra#the-difference-between-msys2-and-mingw

Using that should allow me to build git with symbols.
