This minute I've pushed the MinGW port, which is now at 1.5.2 to:

gitweb: http://repo.or.cz/w/git/mingw.git pull/clone: git://repo.or.cz/git/mingw.git

In addition to the 1.5.2 features, the progress indicator is shown in more places (most notably when "Counting objects"), and GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF works now.

This installs to "C:\Program Files\Git" and is not availiable on the path. What is going on here please ?

Thanks,

Aaron

this uses the same buildscripts as before, so if it worked, it should still work. The path should point to $PF/Git/usr/bin/ ; you might need to log out and log in again for the path to visible.

Still not working properly.

    $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
    Initialized empty Git repository in C:/MSYS/home/Aaron Gray/git/.git/
    warning: templates not found /usr/share/git-core/templates/

Another issue is git-clone is no atomic if it fails it leaves an open file that can only be deleted by logging off and on again.

- does the registry key HKLM SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
contain a PATH variable containing /Program Files/Git/usr/bin as an entry?

- what is the value of the PATH variable in CMD ?

- if this doens't work, please uninstall (run uninstall.exe) and rerun
the installer from the command line with the /S switch; this should generate
an install.log in $PF/Git/ . Send this to the list, or, if it's very big, send
send by private mail.

Can you troubleshoot this for me?  As you can see, you have

C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin

in the path. That AFAIK should be enough to have git.exe run inside CMD. Maybe I'm missing something, but that is as far as my windows knowledge goes.

Git runs, 'git init' runs, but 'git clone' or 'git-clone' do not.

'git init' reports it cannot find '/usr/share/git-core/templates/'

I have no idea whats wrong and do not have the time to try to debug it at present.
