I did not test the initial phase, and there is a serious bug in setup_git_directory_gently() in origin/devel. I fixed that. > 4) When using the install, I get > marius@STORM /git > $ git init > warning: templates not found C:/msysGit/share/git-core/templates/ > Initialized empty Git repository in .git/ > > Probably due to the "Setting up git" step not completing. That is expected. Hooks are activated by chmod'ing them to executable. AFAIK this concept is thoroughly broken by Windows. So I do not even attempt to install the templates; otherwise all hooks would be blindly activated (and you do not want that, trust me). New installer is available and tagged 0.2.

It assumes that you installed 7zip to C:\Program Files\7-Zip but is trivial to adapt to your setup. - 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
