Today Git is typically extended (at least initially in prototyping mode) through Perl, Python, TCL or Bourne shell scripts. Although the first three are available natively on Windows the last requires Cygwin... and we've had some issues with ActiveState Perl on Windows in the past too.Just for kicks and giggles it would be nice if someone tried out one of the native Windows bourne shell ports[1] just to see how much is missing. A bunch of command line utilities would have to be ported as well; maybe too many. But i've held out booting a Windows box for a long time so.... not it!
I think that before starting to think about the porcelain scripts, you need to port the plumbing. :-) -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ #!/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj $/=unpack('H*',$_);$_=`echo 16dio\U$k"SK$/SM$n\EsN0p[lN*1 lK[d2%Sa2/d0$^Ixp"|dc`;s/\W//g;$_=pack('H*',/((..)*)$/)
