I think it should be "the Git for Windows community", and my feeling is that the community developing Git for POSIX systems is far more active than the one making it work for Windows (although we may now have more windows users than unix users). Reading Git for Windows's FAQ ( https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions ), it seems rather clear that the TODO-list is already long to have a correct Perl support (I'm quite admirative of the work done already). The POSIX guys shouldn't move faster than the Windows guys can follow. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
