Thanks for those kind words!

I cannot say anything about the Cygwin version, as I haven't used it in 
ages.

As for Git for Windows: I still think that it would be dangerous to let 
users download and use Git for Windows without warning them that they did 
not obtain commercial support, so it is their responsibility to take care 
of any issues they encounter.

While there are quite a number of nice people who are more than willing to 
help (and don't start to count me amongst them :-), nobody should think 
that it is okay to complain when something does not work as expected: they 
should have expected that.

Having said that, I have a number of (almost) happy customers of the thing 
in my day-job project, and that's the only reason why I can get away with 
working a bit on msysGit during work hours.

Ciao,
Dscho
