I'm sorry but I don't even have a Windows installation on my machine and I don't intend to personally work on Windows support. If you need to keep ActiveState working seamlessly, please post patches. I hate to say it, but that's just how it should work - if someone cares about Git working on a non-mainstream (for Git audience) platform, he needs to maintain it, not ask the "core" developers do it. It's like if you withheld random kernel features because they break m68k and noone is around to fix it.

If someone cares, we'll get patches.
