I'm using both Windows and Linux/Solaris. Since I've used git on both unixes, I've been waiting for a native/mingw port.

You may have realized by now that the git community has created quite an addictive product: with a Windows port, the door is open to many things, gui based or not...

I'll start some c++ projects soon, and for them I'm stuck on a Windows machine (corporatism...). I'm sure I'm not alone in this kind of situation...

With this recent port, I'm convinced I'll progress faster: "foo" branches is to my mind _the_ feature of git.

Thanks Linus and all for taking into account this suggestion! :)
