excellent, i like it so much!! besides the obvious:
* the colors are fixed, so it is not any more dark red on black for added 
files, but red on black and readable
* installs with the necessary performance options
* the readme contains things i fell over in the past.

three things i do not like it so much:
* the old distinct icon is replaced by a new one which looks similar to 
many other programs, like google chrome. would it be possible to set the 
old icon? 
* the prompt is still as slow as before, calculating the branch name on 
pressing return without option to turn it off
* it is talking german to me

would it be sufficient to delete c:\Apps\gitwin\mingw64\share\locale\de\LC_MESSAGES\ resp the whole locale directory to let it speak english?

rupert.
