Git for Windows dropped Windows 7 support a long time ago. This patch
was carried in Git for Windows without making it upstream, and exists
exclusively to support Windows 7 users. Therefore it can now go enjoy
its retirement.

Git for Windows dropped Windows 7 support a long time ago.

There is a patch (introduced in
#5042 and in #5059) to detect
when Git LFS failed to start because of lack of Windows 7 support (which
was lost somewhat surprisingly, via a Go upgrade that slipped that
change in), and to provid a helpful message to the user in that
instance.

Since Git for Windows itself does not support Windows 7 anymore, that
patch is no longer necessary, either.
