Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a Windows app and installer for VFS for Git, so Git can work with huge repositories without downloading everything at once.

I want it to let a user clone a supported repo, browse it like a normal folder, and only fetch files when they actually open or use them. It should also make common Git actions feel fast, like status and checkout, even in very large repos.

Please make it work on modern Windows, and include a simple way to build the installer from source and run the tooling locally. If you need to check the latest Microsoft build or setup docs online, go ahead. Keep the experience smooth for someone trying it for the first time, and make sure the repo includes clear build and usage steps so I can test it with a real Git server that supports the VFS protocol.

Are you gonna build this?
