Has this been discussed in the Windows land and folks are all happy
with this change?  If so the only thing we would need review on the
main list is the top-level change outside compat/ and contrib/, so
it may be possible to sneak it in before -rc1.


Yes this had been discussed previously on the MsysGit list, and in the 
referenced Pull Request [msysgit/#318] 
https://github.com/msysgit/git/pull/318/files.


I had aspirations of a slightly bigger series that would also allow the 
VS compiled output to be installed but that had stalled, so I cut back 
to fixing the basic 'make it work' steps.


The series has been reordered/rebased, and the recently noticed 05/17 
err msg fix added.


The one unknown is the last patch [17] for the Windows Safe Exception 
Handling in that the default acceptability was flipped in VS2013 so that 
zlib became unacceptable to ceratain OS versions without the addition of 
that option -SAFESEH:NO, but I haven't been able to test that myself (I 
don't have a complaining system).




Otherwise, no, but we can still polish it during the prerelease
freeze and aim to merge it in the first batch after the upcoming
release.

 mode change 100755 = 100644 contrib/buildsystems/engine.pl


Why?


Mistake on/by Windows? - My mistake, I hadn't noticed it had happened.

I can search out the change step and re-roll.

[PATCH 00/17] Make the msvc-build scripts work again

2015-06-24 Thread Philip Oakley
This series fixes the scripts which generated Visual Studio project
files. The scripts had bit rotted over the years as other commits
changed the git makefile which it post processed.

The series doesn't attempt to install the Visual Studio compiled product
but allows Windows developers familiar with VS to support the Windows SDK
port of Git.

The fixes are presented in a fine grained manner.

A previous patch series were at $gmane/21132 (2014-11-20), $gmane/21207
(2014-12-26), and on Msysgit list (2015-02-23)
 https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en_US?hl%3Den#!topic/msysgit/aiEVBKjRshY
 https://github.com/msysgit/git/pull/318/files

Hopefully it's not too late in the cycle for a review of this contrib/compat
item.
