IMHO, Git under cygwin's pretty nice. I tried using MSysGit as well and didn't feel like it was quite as good as just building Git under cygwin. I also run Git on an Mac at home and while it's clearly faster, Git under Cygwin still beats the pants off of SVN under Cygwin. > But is there a way around this if i run a linux VM with Git running > and mount a windows ntfs partition ? Would this really be faster? I don't have a whole lot of experience with virtualization, but isn't Cygwin 'basically' doing this already? I mean, it's attempting to emulate linux system calls so that linux software can be recompiled to run on o a Windows box. > Any ideas?
