git on 64bit windows - state of the art?

[Jon Seymour <jon.seymour@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I was wondering what the state of the art for running git on 64 bit Windows is?

I haven't tried it myself - my Windows VMs are 32bit - but colleagues
are reporting persistent problems with the cygwin build because of
(cygwin) rebasing issues [ the issue most often reveals itself as a
failure to fork subprocesses while executing git svn ]

We have tried to use cygwin's rebaseall to address the issue per the
advice on stackoverflow.com amongst other places, but this "solution"
doesn't seem to produce permanent results (even if the installed
cygwin code base remains stable). We tried msysgit to see if this
provided any relief, but it had similar issues (perhaps because cygwin
was also active at the time - I haven't had a chance to diagnose this
particular more thoroughly yet).

Has anyone got a recipe that provides a permanent and stable solution
to the (cygwin) 32/64bit rebasing issues?
