Hi
   I just installed the Git for MinGW in windows platform and I try to
git clone http://......
But it give a error message saying that there is no curl available. 
Could you please tell me that does this version support clone through 
http protocol? Thanks in advance!

Regards! Bo

Lets see:

	D:\Src>git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/kdbg.git
	Initialized empty Git repository in d:/Src/kdbg/.git/
	http transport not supported, rebuild Git with curl support

Which part of "http transport not supported" requires further explanation?
