AFAICT the perl scripts work in msysGit.

We have patches in msysGit for that. Maybe they should come _before_ the MinGW series?

FWIW I like your partitioning very much!

AFAIR this is needed to call git from git-gui, because of that fscked-up semantics of Windows' CreateProcess().

I'll try to review the patches in the next days, but I have no doubt that there is not much to complain about.

Thanks, Hannes, for all your valuable and persistent work on mingw.git!

Ciao, Dscho
