I have the version of git that came with cygwin, and I never have to run an X server to run git-gui or gitk. Personally, I can't imagine running git without cygwin. Course, I want my desktop to feel as much like unix as possible. My experience with git under cygwin has been excellent. My only gripe has to do with CRLF. The repository has everything checked in with dos line endings, I'd like to check everything out with unix line endings, and then check it back in with dos line endings.

Granted, the performance isn't equal to git running on a real unix, but compared to working with SVN under win32, I would say it performs quite well. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
