Maybe we have to go the other way round, just as POSIX git does: instead
of spawning the pager, we should _beginthread() the actual work, and
execl() the pager.
On the third hand, I fully expect git on Windows to be used only by GUI
wieners who cannot handle the command line, let alone a pager! ("WTF! How
do I go back to that dollar thingie? You know, where I type git-blabla?")
Since Tcl/Tk is available for MinGW, git-gui seems to be a way to go
there.
Or to continue on the TortoiseCVS lookalike...
Ciao,
