This maybe a stupid question but does Git run on Windows ?
Are there better options ?
If not how much work would it be to port it ?
Its got lots of C code, and Bash scripts, with a couple of Perl scripts.
So should run on Cygwin okay, maybe even MinGW. Anyone tried either ?
This maybe the crunch and reason to use CVS for now :(?)
