Great.

I could not get commands like git-clone to work from CMD although this is not really a handycap for the time being.

On doing a clone I get the message :-

        warning: templates not found /usr/share/git-core/templates/

I think it might be a bug. Patches are welcome.

I suppose git-clone has a hardcoded path. Paths under windows should be either taken from registry (yuck) or dynamically detected from $PATH and argv[0].

This should have been fixed by 2d84ffaf (currently master~1 in git://repo.or.cz/git/mingw.git) and its parent. Can you make sure that your build picks up the new Makefile setting that these commits introduce?

That commit didn't work for me because template_dir was overridden by config.mak.autogen

thanks for noticing this. I'm building a -2 release which should fix this.
