Thanks, I didn't know about that. This is my first time I've successfully built Git on Windows, so I can't compare build systems. (Makefile and CMake never worked for me.)
Out of curiosity, why are the integration tests so much slower on Windows than Linux? Is it the 10+ ms overhead of creating each new process? https://stackoverflow.com/q/47845/284795 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10710912/what-is-the-process-creation-overhead-in-windows
