committing from Windows.
I think it could probably be made to work on WIndows if really necessary
(e.g. by translating into perl).
Is the fact that its implemented as a shell script the real problem?
Isn't it more that "symlinks" aka Junction Points are really dangerous
<= WinXP? (Deleting a symlink recurses to the target and deletes there).
