+### Please describe the problem.
+
+Attempting to do *anything* with an S3 reomote using git-annex on windows fails with error code 10093 (i.e. WSA_NOT_INITIALISED). 
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Assuming you have a disabled S3 remote called "the-cloud" (e.g. a fresh clone)
+[[!format sh """
+C:\annex> git annex-old enableremote "the-cloud"
+enableremote the-cloud gpg: WARNING: using insecure memory!
+gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/faqs.html for more information

+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+git-annex 5.20150113-gcf247cf on windows 8.1
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+
+This error is caused by the Winsock library not being initialised before a socket operation is attempted. The patch below fixes the issue, and it should be a no-op on non-Windows platforms.
