Hi list, I have been searching for details on what is required to
compile on Windows, but haven't found anything conclusive. Perhaps
there is something on the wiki, but unfortunately it is down at the
moment.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I would like to be able to
compile and test topic branches, and perhaps even do some dev work on
my windows machine.

I once wrote a little step-by-step tutorial on how to compile the native 
Windows Git with MSVC (Express).

The blog post filled in a few gaps in the Msysgit README instructions about 
where to place the various downloads described.

Be aware that git runs without apparent problems, but that all 
functionality written in shell scripts can't be used.

HTH,

Vincent
