You may have a point. Although, if someone can drop in the git-shell-commands directory, he or she can probably also edit one of the git repo's hooks directories. I'd be curious to hear others' opinions on the matter. > Patch 1 still uses execv(), which is not available on Windows. It seems to me that the existing git-shell calls execv_git_cmd, which uses execvp internally. I know ~nothing about exec on Windows, but presumably it doesn't have just one of execv or execvp. If it does, it would be easy enough to switch the execv to execvp, as the commands that are being run are already guaranteed to have a slash.

My $project has deployed an earlier prototype of the patches in our dev environment, but we haven't moved it to prod yet. We'll probably do that next week.
