I've got msysgit installed now via the net installer. I checked out Avar's (Aevar?) branch One problem is that I don't have any of the perl TAP modules. It's complaining about TAP/Harness/Archive.pm. Any suggestions for installing additional perl modules under msysgit?

Another problem is that the mingw sh.exe is _really_ slow (the box is an oldish Dell Latitude). It took a while for the net installer to run and compile the devel branch but it got there eventually. It's not a huge issue for me as the box is sitting idle but any suggestions for making it run a bit smoother are welcome.
