There're virtualizers around, on which networking capabilities can be activated. And we could easily create a vm with linux+git inside, using ext2/ext3/ext4 fs virtual disks (you'd benefit from windows cache actually...) example: YTech_Subversion_Appliance_v1.1 (ubuntu + subversion). I've no prototype yet, but I've 2 scenario possible: 1) use vmplayer and a minimal uclibc initramfs with git onboard 2) use qemu+kqemu and a similar mini-distro (but right now networking is an issue on windows hosts: I'm exploring tunneling) The 1st scenario is "easy". And I start to prefer this idea over even mingw porting of git (I tried and it's hard, really). But again, maybe jgit would be a better universal solution. --
