What is it you want to test actually ? Try creating a desktop icon (Repository->Create Desktop Icon) and start git-gui from the resulting .bat file. It *should* come up right on MinGW, but I'm only guessing here. The other one that I'm curious about is if fetch/push/merge work. merge requires git-merge right now, which is a shell script. fetch is the same, but push is pure C so it should work. But I don't think the Tcl environment will make it into the child, which means things like SSH_AUTH_SOCK don't get used. But I really should just install the git-mingw port on one of my windows systems and play with it. If its faster than Cygwin then it's worthwhile. > git-gui and gitk have been working for a bit more than a week, if I > recall well. I'd like to see git-blame latest patch work with git-gui. The blame feature is in git-gui (went in last night). It requires the --incremental patches from Linus&Junio, which are now in git.git master. It also needs a big display, as the interface is horrid. :) -- Shawn.
