OK, enough. I am extremely grateful for the porting and maintenance efforts of the GNU make porting team (since I have no Windows--or Amiga, or OS/2, or OpenVMS--systems to maintain these ports myself) and I'm not going to choose a tool unless it supports their environment and helps them to work more efficiently (or at least no less efficiently). I'm not interested in getting into a pissing match over which operating system is better or worse, and I'm certainly not interested in unfounded inferences as to the character and quality of my porting team based on the operating system they are using.
For those who have provided details and pointers regarding the state of GIT on Windows, thank you very much for your help: it's been very useful and Eli and others sound like they have enough information to be getting on with for now. If you'd like to discuss some Windows porting issues further there are a number of extremely knowledgeable Windows / FLOSS programmers on the make-w32@gnu.org list--although they are generally very busy. If what you're interested in is self-congratulatory back-slapping over the superiority of Linux/POSIX, please keep that on the GIT mailing list, or else an advocacy forum somewhere. I'm setting followups to the GIT list. Cheers all! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
