I, for one, appreciate all the hard work invested in that. While we are at that: can you (or someone else) point me to instructions on how to build the MinGW port of GIT? I found a tarball of the MinGW-ported GIT (v1.5.3, I think), but what I don't seem to be able to find is some kind of HOWTO: what tools I need to have installed, how to configure them (if there are any special issues there), what command(s) to type, etc. Is there anything like that out there, or can someone post such instructions? TIA
