Allowing Windows users to connect via CVS and GitWeb.\nNice, looks like the right solution, best of both worlds.\n\nRunning Cygwin, Perl, and Python is not really something I could expect of\nWindows programmers.\n\nMany thanks,\n\nAaron\n"},{"id":"23388","messageId":"e8mb8r$t1u$2@sea.gmane.org","threadId":"4778","inReplyTo":"Pine.LNX.4.63.0607060830060.29667@wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de","subject":"Re: Does Git run on Windows ?","fromName":"Jakub Narebski","fromEmail":"jnareb@gmail.com","sentAt":"2006-07-07T19:05:16Z","receivedAt":"2006-07-07T19:05:16Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"jnareb@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2706?v=4"},"body":"Johannes Schindelin wrote:\n \n> On Thu, 6 Jul 2006, Aaron Gray wrote:\n>\n>> Its got lots of C code, and Bash scripts, with a couple of Perl scripts.\n> \n> And you completely forgot Python.\n\nIf I remember correctly the only Python dependency was recursive merge\nstrategy, currently being reworked in C.\n\n-- \nJakub Narebski\nWarsaw, Poland\nShadeHawk on #git\n"},{"id":"23403","messageId":"Pine.LNX.4.63.0607080447050.29667@wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de","threadId":"4778","inReplyTo":"e8mb8r$t1u$2@sea.gmane.org","subject":"Re: Does Git run on Windows ?","fromName":"Johannes Schindelin","fromEmail":"johannes.schindelin@gmx.de","sentAt":"2006-07-08T02:48:31Z","receivedAt":"2006-07-08T02:48:31Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"johannes.schindelin@gmx.de","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/127790?v=4"},"body":"Hi,\n\nOn Fri, 7 Jul 2006, Jakub Narebski wrote:\n\n> Johannes Schindelin wrote:\n>  \n> > On Thu, 6 Jul 2006, Aaron Gray wrote:\n> >\n> >> Its got lots of C code, and Bash scripts, with a couple of Perl scripts.\n> > \n> > And you completely forgot Python.\n> \n> If I remember correctly the only Python dependency was recursive merge\n> strategy, currently being reworked in C.\n\nI remember, too. Because Alex and me are working very hard to provide \nsomething which is presentable to the list. We will release a WIP patch of \nit, probably tomorrow.\n\nCiao,\nDscho\n"}]}
