Thank you for the information!  i'll check those up.


I hope to have an improved list on monday, sorted by priority of
the developers I'm working with.

I thought I do some coding, to find out a bit more about the
stability of msysgit. So I started and added support for kdiff3
on Windows (see patches in separate mail).

neat.The hardest part for me was to find out that I didn't have to
configure anything or add a command line option to get kdiff3 running.
(I cheated looking in the source, I think we should add #ifdef
__MINGW32__ / #endif around the registry reading part.

What does __MINGW32__ mean for shell code? The registry reading
should just be ignored if registry access 'reg.exe' is not available.

However, the code was not yet robust. I pushed the patch below to
4msysgit.git's mob.

commit 816f61fecd9e90879afcbad9234f19bf6d982b76

    mergetool: fixed parsing of registry entry for kdiff3

    The old code failed on Windows Vista. The output of
    reg.exe or something else may be a bit different.
    This patch improves the parsing code to be more robust.
