FWIW, I'm slowly working on a MinGW port of git, based on Dscho's
initial work.

Currently, the tool set passes about 60-70% of the tests.

This works: The tools that you commonly need to work on a local repo,
except merges ([*]): commit, rebase, reset, log, diff and their
plumbing.

This does not work: pull, fetch, clone; mostly due to fork()
difficulties in their plumbing (fetch-pack, send-pack, etc.)

[*] because shell scripts like merge-one-file can't be invoked from an
exe like merge-index, yet. Fortunately this looks like the easiest part
to solve.
