(Especially the four years of battle testing, with the memories of constant problems with HOME before.) I hope they are strong enough to convince Junio to accept this patch; that would help. Stepan PS (about mingwGitDevEnv): > plan is to switch to mingwGitDevEnv for said release. No more msysGit. > Like, bu-bye. Thanks for all the fish. Interesting. With msysgit, there is the "net installer" - first time I installed msys/mingw sucessfully, it was as easy as Cygwin, perhaps even easier. When I go to mingwGitDevEnv home page, I read about chickens, eggs, and upgrading Perl (which msysGit simply gives up, hinting that it is almost impossible). So I decided to wait for their Git 2.0.0 release before I try to install it (again). I apologize for being so cheeky, I hope it will help anyway... PPS: from marketing point of view, mingwGitDevEnv is far from usable name. Dscho, if you support the idea, would you mind franchising msysGit 2.0 for a decent amount? -- -- *** Please reply-to-all at all times *** *** (do not pretend to know who is subscribed and who is not) *** *** Please avoid top-posting. *** The msysGit Wiki is here: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki - Github accounts are free.
