I don't even attempt to make ash\ninteractively usable (well, git add --interactive and friends have to\nwait longer).\n-- \nDuy\n"},{"id":"46963","messageId":"Pine.LNX.4.64.0707101719390.4047@racer.site","threadId":"8966","inReplyTo":"fcaeb9bf0707100908o4be761b9t920cdc65a72d9aee@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: [WIP] Get rid of msys in favor of busybox port for windows","fromName":"Johannes Schindelin","fromEmail":"johannes.schindelin@gmx.de","sentAt":"2007-07-10T16:20:48Z","receivedAt":"2007-07-10T16:20:48Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"johannes.schindelin@gmx.de","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/127790?v=4"},"body":"Hi,\n\nOn Tue, 10 Jul 2007, Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy wrote:\n\n> On 7/10/07, Johannes Schindelin wrote:\n> > \n> > On Tue, 10 Jul 2007, Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy wrote:\n> > \n> > > I'm integrating some code from busybox to mingw tree so that mingw port\n> > > can work without msys.

I\nextracted stuffs that need to run shell scripts (mainly coreutils and\nash) and put them in my mingw tree. Just wanted to push it if you\nwanted to try.. maybe later.\n\n-- \nDuy\n"}]}
