3) When "Setting up git" the second time, it feels like the whole thing
is hanging; have let it run for ~5min now without anything happening.
Not sure what's going on here. It looks like git.exe was ran with any
options, but that should not consume 100% CPU.. Hmm

Yep.  I did not test the initial phase, and there is a serious bug in
setup_git_directory_gently() in origin/devel.  I fixed that.

Yup, work now.

Works for me as well now.  One catch is that at work, I'm behind a
firewall so git:// doesn't work for me.  I have a packaged version
that adds curl and expat, enables them in the build, and then falls
back to http:// if git:// fails in /etc/profile.  Is that something
you'd want up on code.google.com?

Ooo, I'd like your built curl and expat libs in a zip, pretty please! :-)

Then we can add it to the package. The more complete MinGW port, the
better. Do you have anywhere you can put out such a zip, so I can get
ahold of it? You can mail me privately, if you'd like.
