I couldn't find anything significant in the issue tracker. http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=120&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Component%20Owner%20Summary It is also frustrating that http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=83&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Component%20Owner%20Summary http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=103&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Component%20Owner%20Summary http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=129&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Component%20Owner%20Summary are probably the same issue. I cannot only blame the users for not really looking if their issue has been reported yet; there are 32 open issues in msysGit right now, number increasing, so it gets quite confusing. I once switched off the issue tracker, because I was the only one who took at least a little bit of care of it. Due to list consensus, it was turned back on -- against my will. Guess who takes care of it right now? Exactly. So I will soon be switching it off again, I think, because there are few more useless things than an unmonitored issue tracker. > If not, why do you want to drop git-svn from Windows Git?

If it was so trivial, why does nobody use it? Oh, and git-svn is slow, too. And _noone_ of those competent Windows git-svn users seemed fit or willing to do anything about git-svn, not even the simplest of issues. If you want to do something about it, go ahead. But I have no inclination of hearing from any Windows user about git-svn again, ever.
