Wow, the article says "Historically git worked poorly on Windows, poorly enough that we'd not suggest it. This has now changed, providing you run it using msysgit and not cygwin.". I find that interesting, and have 2 comments: 1) friends don't let friends use Windows without Cygwin :-D 2) I've been using git under Cygwin on Windows XP since mid 2007, and have never thought that it worked poorly. In fact I would say that it has always worked beautifully. Perhaps the problem(s) with Cygwin git only rear their ugly heads on multi-developer projects. My experience has all been on single-developer projects.
