Oops. Ok so we're testing the very latest then, and it definitely
still has the bug as we thought.

Maybe it's time to switch to "git am -3 ..." and reject patches that
don't apply that way.

Yeah. Also there are some other things we can do to speed up testing
on Windows (and elsewhere), like not running every test query with new
psql + backend process pair, which takes at least a few hundred ms and
sometimes up to several seconds on this platform; I have some patches
I need to finish...

I mean, if, some sunny day, we can compile and test on Windows at
non-glacial speeds, then it would become possible to contemplate
having cfbot run these tasks for every patch every time.
