The series is ready as is to support Cygwin platforms, and thus useful to people who would use git on windows via cygwin. Future work will be to add support for Msysgit. That work will need much of the changes in this Cygwin series as well. It is more complicated since there's no native python for Msysgit (yet). I think the Cygwin changes should go in now. -- Pete -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
