Hi, I cloned the git repo from 'git://git2.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git'. I had an earlier msysGIT with build environment. I just got into the msys (bash) environment and ran a 'gmake'. It built fine on Windows XP. I thank everyone involved in making git work on windoze. It really makes it a lot more easier to push git as a serious dVCS in the corporate world with development hapenning on different platforms :-) Once I iron out git-p4, hoping to say "Git the hell out of here ... p4" soon.
A trivial issue in install: 'gmake install' had a small issue in trying to install non existant 'git-shell.exe'. The following trivial patch on master to Makefile handles that:
