(Hmm, don't know why evolution didn't quote the message...)
Tariq, while git is heaps nicer and better on Linux, it works quite well
on windows as well, and is reasonably mature.
Just be sure to be aware of autocrlf, and that on windows with msysgit,
it is enabled by default.
- Also, if you use the cygwin version instead, be aware that applying
patches, etc, can get /funky/ when cygwin is using unix line endings,
but your development environment doesn't. Again, be very aware of line
endings.
Unless you think your repository will become larger than 2GB (Not
likely), then msysgit will do just fine.
Running git under linux in vmware will be faster, but not worth the
bother, in my opinion.
