Run git from .bat file (Windows)

Hello,

I'm trying to get the script below working on a box with Windoze XP and git version 1.7.0.2.msysgit.0. The script is a .bat file and is supposed to be run from the Windoze scheduler; for testing, I run it from a command prompt.

Here's the script:

=================8<==================8<===================== @ECHO OFF

REM get date and time for /f "delims=" %%a in ('date/t') do @set mydate=%%a for /f "delims=" %%a in ('time/t') do @set mytime=%%a set fvar=%mydate%%mytime%

REM add all new files git add . git commit -a -m "Automated commit by org-git-sync.bat on %fvar%" ================>8===================>8======================

The line "git add ." works, as I can see the additions when I type "git status" after executing the script. Committing doesn't work, however: "git log" shows that no commit was created.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks Markus
