+3. Open gitbuild\gitbuild.sln with VS2008. Then press F7.

F7 does nothing in VS2008, to build the solution you have to press
Ctrl+Shift+B. To build and start debugging you have to press F5, and
for start without debbuging support is Ctrl+F5.

IIRC, Visual Studio can be configured to use different keyboard shortcuts.

However, saying "press F7" says nothing of the intent. It would
probably be better to have this say something like "Then build the
solution." or "Open gitbuild\gitbuild.sln with Visual Studio 2008,
then build it." But then you don't need to open Visual Studio 2008 to
build it (you can build it from command line).

So, how about:
   3. You can now build git with Visual Studio 2008 using the
gitbuild\gitbuild.sln file.

Agreed.
Thanks guys.
