I was trying to identify the source file (as I see it in my Msysgit install). However it will all need tidying to distinguish what is seen if you have G4W-SDK, rather just installing the new G4W (when ready)

This is not something I'm familiar with, but it's something I could have a look at. On my list is also the 'git bundle' symref problem, which we've got a solution for that 'just' needs coding, along with thoughts about narrow/sparse checkout/clone/fetch.

One of the confusions I have is the distinction between building with the MSVC compiler (cl command line) and building within VS2008, and whether they are different things (i.e. does VS2008 bring extra baggage?). -- Philip
