What build tools are you using and how good is the integration into both git and hg? The project is running on Windows/Linux (Windows being the primary development platform, and we also expect most users to run Windows.) For tooling, we use Trac at the moment (good integration with SVN), but we're evaluating GitTrac, Trac/Mercurial and Redmine now (+ possible migration paths.) For our build system, it's a non-issue anyway, as git/mercurial have command line clients, and that's all we need. Don't get me wrong with Git+msysgit on Windows, the point is simply if we switch to git, can we expect that Windows will be supported for the foreseeable future or is it possible that git may simply drop Windows support completely? For Mercurial, this is a non-issue, as it is written in Python, and Python will support both Windows and Linux. As I said, I'm happy with using msysgit, but I cannot find any roadmap etc. which helps me to determine how git and Windows is going to continue (for instance, I can find some complaints that git's performance is bad on Windows due to cygwin's fork()/exec(), is this likely to get ever "fixed"? I guess git# will solve this as soon as it's ready?) Cheers, Anteru
