What's the status of MinGW port.
Hi,
I cloned the git repo from 'git://git2.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git'. I had an earlier msysGIT with build environment. I just got into the msys (bash) environment and ran a 'gmake'. It built fine on Windows XP. I thank everyone involved in making git work on windoze. It really makes it a lot more easier to push git as a serious dVCS in the corporate world with development hapenning on different platforms :-) Once I iron out git-p4, hoping to say "Git the hell out of here ... p4" soon.
A trivial issue in install:
'gmake install' had a small issue in trying to install non existant 'git-shell.exe'. The following trivial patch on master to Makefile handles that:

GIT is a great tool, but I'm running Windows XP.
It seems like msysgit hasn't been updated for a long time,
neither has the mingw.git branch.
Is there any plan to create a native version of GIT on MS Windows?There are no plans anymore to create such a thing.
It is already there: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/
If the lack of activity is worrysome to you, you could help create a release tarball for 1.6..0(.x).

PATCH 1/1 Windows: git-shell can be compiled again
From: Johannes Sixt <[email protected]>
The reason that git-shell was excluded from the Windows build was that our compatibility layer needed stuff that was removed when we tried to link less of the git library into git-shell. Since 4cfc24afc9ff the complete library is linked again, so we can build git-shell on Windows as well. (This fixes 'make install', which depends on that git-shell is always built.)

This is good to know.

Thanks for bringing up the issue. I was a bit careless reviewing the changes in that area. Here is a better fix.
