We are attempting to make a perl application using Git.pm run on windows. One of the things we do is initialize 

        Git->repository(Directory => $some_other_directory);

This works fine on unix, but on windows the $some_other_directory seems to be ignored. This seems to be because _cmd_exec or its equivalent to set GIT_DIR and chdir does not exist in the windows code-path in _command_common_pipe. Am I missing something that should make this work, or is this just not supported? (Sorry, I know little about windows and trying to interpret problems others are having.)
