Is there something wrong with it?

True there are the legal issues. And it is not known if it would help on
other platforms. My may concern is Windows because if git could be made
available without some of msysGit's requirements. It would definitely
make it more palletable (sp?) to that community which is a large chunk
of developers, including my own work environment. I would love to switch
from ClearCase to git but there are issues. One of them is integration
with the Windows environment.
I think that you do not help the effort to bring Git to Windows, by
suggesting even more work, for dubitable benefits.
And that is what I think of APR here.
NOTE: my only experience with APR on Windows is to get git-svn to compile,
and there it was not only a PITA. The result is _SLOW_.
Thanks for the info.
Another concern is performance penalty of using non-native calls under
Windows and that is one of the problems that I was hoping the using APR
would solve. I figure if it is good enough to support the network stuff
under Windows well maybe it would be good for git too.
The problems with Git and Windows are not network related. They are with
Windows' pitiful performance when it comes to spawn processes.
Which makes me believe that it sounds like git depends on spawning
processes being cheap.
IMO your efforts to help Git on Windows would be better spent on the
msysGit list, where you would learn about the real issues we face.
Excuse my ignorance, could you tell me where the mysGit list is, so
that I can subscribe?
Ciao,
