Maybe we have to go the other way round, just as POSIX git does: instead

actually, one other issue is the spawning of vim when doing commits.
I usually end up in using -m "my commit message" because of these
2 errors (basically terminal not recognized, I tried many different
options to no avail)

$ git commit -a
Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal
Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal

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?")

maybe I'm stuck with windows at work, but I still use vim inside mingw.
it would be nice to fix the pager issue...


Since Tcl/Tk is available for MinGW, git-gui seems to be a way to go
there.

I did not know about this... let me try... yes! not bad...
it's working too, so your assumption was correct.

thanks for the suggestion.
