I'm adding my thanks to the others already given here. I'm not a
windows user, so not using it myself, but it's great to know that Git
can run properly on Windows! Keep the great work!

Can you give an update on how much recomandable msysgit is? I mean, at
some point in time, users seemed to be happy, but I remember you
discouraging people from using it in production because of remaining
serious bugs. Do you think it is now stable enough to be recommanded?
More reliable than the cygwin version?

Thanks,

Thanks for those kind words!

I cannot say anything about the Cygwin version, as I haven't used it in 
ages.

As for Git for Windows: I still think that it would be dangerous to let 
users download and use Git for Windows without warning them that they did 
not obtain commercial support, so it is their responsibility to take care 
of any issues they encounter.

While there are quite a number of nice people who are more than willing to 
help (and don't start to count me amongst them :-), nobody should think 
that it is okay to complain when something does not work as expected: they 
should have expected that.

Having said that, I have a number of (almost) happy customers of the thing 
in my day-job project, and that's the only reason why I can get away with 
working a bit on msysGit during work hours.

Ciao,
Dscho

I'm using Cygwin version since years now. I'm building Git daily from
master on Cygwin. No problem on my side with Git.

I have some issues with git-svn from time to time because some DLL are
not properly relocated. I need to call Cygwin "rebaseall". This is often
the case after installing a new version of SVN (under Cygwin) and/or
Perl. But apart from that git-svn run like a charm on Cygwin too. I
would expect Git on Cygwin a bit slower than a native version, but Git
is so fast (and much faster than SVN) than it is just ok as-is.

Pascal.

I did set up git from cygwin on windows 2003 server with gitolite, and
I'm using msysgit on the clients side.

Clearly I'll try sooner or later to remove cygwin from the equation to
gain speed...
