Hi,
I cloned the git repo from 'git://git2.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git'. I had an earlier msysGIT with build environment. I just got into the msys (bash) environment and ran a 'gmake'. It built fine on Windows XP.
I thank everyone involved in making git work on windoze. It really makes it a lot more easier to push git as a serious dVCS in the corporate world with development hapenning on different platforms :-)
Once I iron out git-p4, hoping to say "Git the hell out of here ... p4" soon.
A trivial issue in install:
'gmake install' had a small issue in trying to install non existant 'git-shell.exe'. The following trivial patch on master to Makefile handles that:
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index dfed7ba..d5a3327 100644
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
