It is. I have to admit that my knowledge about POSIX kind of things on windows approaches zero, but a hardcoded /bin/something path sounds suspicious to me. Nothing more, nothing less in my question. -- Matthieu

I think every POSIX environment provides _something_ for /bin and / usr/bin. There are too many scripts that start "#!/bin/bash" or "#!/ usr/bin/env interpreter" for it not to. And to be POSIX, the basic utilities (like pwd and env) should be in there. Someday Git may work on Windows without a funny (for MS) environment. But that day is not today. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either. ;-) ~~ Brian

It sure sounds like you would like that day rather sooner than later. In related news, that day will be sooner rather than later, if people who actually care deeply about this _do_ something about it. Hth, Dscho

Actually, at the moment, my only Windows environment is inside a VM box on my Mac. So as long as it works on my Mac, I don't care how long it takes. And I have neither the time nor build environment to try to fix it. If that changes, I'll produce patches like a good code monkey. ~~ Brian
