What possibility is there of getting git (& assorted tools) to run natively on Windows (sacrilege I know) using MinGW? What truly Unixy-only things does the code do? Unfortunately, Windows is a reality for many of us. I'd like to begin experimenting using git to track all of my data files acting as a synchronization mechanism. Have all your files up-to-date everywhere, revision tracking, & redundancy too... Dedicated Linux repository at home, dual boot laptop on the road, Windows machine at work, etc... Thoughts? Suggestions? Rob Please CC me, I track the archive closely, but am not subscribed.
