One apparent downer is git's level of support for win32. So I thought I'd take a chance to mention a couple of the options in case anyone wants to check them out.
- git via cygwin.
This seems like the best approach of the two, since it is possible to support cogito as well. Personally speaking, for most things, I would prefer not to use git without cogito.
b) installing cygwin is complex. Perhaps we could lessen this perceived complexity for our devs by providing a unified package as we do for libraries. I recall seeing a few packages that distribute portions of cygwin like this.
I think we would have to do this before I would consider a serious push for git on win32.
This means a single installer which includes, at minimum:
- subversion - git-core - cogito - git-svn - gitk
...and however much of cygwin is necessary to make them all work.
