FYI: My experiences with cygwin & git

Hi,

I tried to compile & run git on cygwin. Two showstoppers:

	- cygwin does not support IPv6 (yet). Therefore, it does
	  not have getaddrinfo() and friends. (minor showstopper)

	- fork() and mmap() together have problems. This manifests
	  itself in "git-diff-tree -p" not working. (showbomber)

No big problem for me, I only tested cygwin out of curiosity.

Ciao,
Dscho
