Git works fine under Windows for people who use Cygwin. Portability to Windows is more about working for users who don't use a shell of any sort or the "Run..." dialog. I don't know how Mercurial does on that metric, anyway, but it's a lot more meaningful that the question of whether the software works in your POSIX environment when the underlying kernel is not very suitable. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
