I think that is totally reasonable, as on those platforms there is actually something to be gained from removing those hardlinks (you could also of course make a very thin wrapper for "git-foo" that called "git foo"; it would still be wasteful, but not as much as copying the whole git.exe. But that is not worth doing unless people on Windows really want the dash forms). -Peff - 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
