Hi, This is great news for win(-stuck)-users. I've tried "msysGit-0.2.exe", a few glitches 1. Unpacking in a folder that have space in it's path gave various errors of this type (here, msysGit is unpacked on the desktop C:\Documents and settings\.... ) : make[1]: C:/Documents: Command not found 2. rxvt-terminal had some freezes (echoed input but programs didn't output anything and didn't seem to respond to ctrl-c). Had it once during "make" and once during "ls". I't might be related to me resizing the terminal during command execution (=I didn't see it otherwise). 3. "gitk --all" said "Error reading commits: fatal: write failure on stdout: Invalid argument" on start - my other msys installation didn't. (I didn't do anything to make git dirty - i'm on master and gitk shows no uncommited changes) $ git --version git version mingw.v1.5.2.4.883.g3822-dirty 4. Mouse-wheel didn't work to scroll views in gitk => it works with minor installation effort! I've done both MSYS and Cygwin installs - I think this will lower the git barrier on Win significantly. Thanks & good work all involved!
