MSYS uses the MinGW (gcc) compiler uses the native Windows Win32 API, so the MSYS version *is* native. Unless by native you mean using Visual Studio? - Reece ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I haven't used it recently (I have switched to using Linux), so I don't know about how well it copes with Windows paths. If you have any issues with msysgit (or git on Windows in general) in regard to functionality (e.g. ".gitignore does not work with Windows paths"), I would suggest raising these issues. Problems that are not reported cannot be fixed. - Reece > Aaron > > 2009/6/12 Reece Dunn <msclrhd@googlemail.com> >> >> 2009/6/12 Aaron Gray <aaronngray.lists@googlemail.com>: >> > Is there going to be a native Windows implementation of GIT ? >> > >> > i.e. not MSYS or Cygwin based. >> > >> > Many thanks in advance, >> >> Cygwin is an adapter layer that maps posix calls to the Windows Win32 >> API, so is not a native implementation. >> >> MSYS uses the MinGW (gcc) compiler uses the native Windows Win32 API, >> so the MSYS version *is* native. >> >> Unless by native you mean using Visual Studio? >> >> - Reece ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
