I was not aware there is any working Windows setup beyond msysGit. Thus I did not object when the half-done work was going to be moved ot master. I'll try to submit the patches needed so that your setup works again. Karsten writes: > At first glance, t0050 seems to fail because the unicode file > name patches are still missing.

There is a whole branch named win-tests or some such. I remember I was hunting for not-yet resolved instances of this bug. This convinced me that the test suite of vanilla git cannot work on Windows. I was not aware about the fact that this problem was masked in the versions before Karsten's unicode patches. Hannes, I'd like to submit the patches mentioned here during the following week and I'd be glad to hear from you.
