It is trivial, but it will help others. It might also be a good idea to have a shortcut in "$PF/Git/Git Gui.lnk" to the git gui (once it is working, that is). > * git-gui and gitk don't work out of the box because they have the path > to wish hardcoded.

I'd also like to see bash, perl and wish bundled with the install (Windows lusers are so used to one big install package, so it is an _advantage_ to have a bigger download). > * perl scripts like git-remote contain a hard-coded path to the > installation directory and don't work for this reason. GITPERLLIB should be set from the wrapper script, I think. Ciao, Dscho
