This isn't about git-svn but about the svn remote helper. The same considerations would apply to any other foreign repository importer that uses "git fast-import --cat-blob-fd". So I would like to make sure it is at least possible to support such a thing in the Cygwin and mingw ports. > If not, then I don't think the test suite > should require fifos or any other construct with the same git > process feeding itself either, it just blurs the line about what is > actually being tested. I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying Windows users would never want to access Subversion repositories?
