branch One problem is that I don't have any of the perl TAP
modules. It's complaining about TAP/Harness/Archive.pm. Any
suggestions for installing additional perl modules under msysgit?

I don't know what msysgit does for perl but if you can make it use
strawberry perl's perl + modules that'd be easiest:

    http://strawberryperl.com

I'll see if I can get it to work. Msys comes with its own perl so maybe
there is another way.

If it comes with its own perl it should also have a cpan shell:

    perl -MCPAN -e 'install TAP::Harness::Archive'

That should be easier than installing strawberry in addition to the
mingw perl.
