Hello again, I realized I have git-cheetah running as well, so I killed explorer.exe (the only process using git_shell_ext.exe), and tried again. That's when I noticed that running 'git svn fetch' spawned two git processes and a perl process (which later spawned another perl). Is this something that should be happening?
