I use an older version of git that still creates msg-clean files (see
36830), so I rm'd the msg-clean file by hand to test your patch.

Change '\n' to $'\n'.  (But read the last paragraph first.)

I'm not an expert on git internal data structures, but I see two failure
modes to this patch: the file "$patchdir/${(l:4::0:)cur}" might not
exist, or might correspond to a different commit than $cur.  The former
case could be addressed by adding a [[ -f ]] existence check, as
elsewhere in the file.  The latter would cause information for a wrong
commit to be printed instead of a commit hash.  That would be a bug, but
it seems unlikely enough.

So I would suggest two code changes: use «${(l:4::0:)cur}» or the new
'printf -v' instead of a command substitution to save a fork on Cygwin,
and consider adding a [[ -f ]] check to prevent error messages.

One last thing I'd suggest is to consider using VCS_INFO_quilt-patch2subject,
since it implements rfc822 unfolding of long subject lines.

Cheers,

Daniel
