@@ -45,10 +45,34 @@ This code base will not compile on a POSIX system, although any help
|
||||
to introduce the necessary #ifdefs is welcome. As such the status quo
|
||||
is in no way intended to be merged upstream.
|
||||
|
||||
The toolset has only been used to run the test suite.
|
||||
The plumbing that does the repository manipulation works, as well as
|
||||
the porcelains that you need for daily (local!) work.
|
||||
This works:
|
||||
|
||||
pull, clone, fetch, do not work. This means that you must copy a repo
|
||||
to your Windows using some plain copy instructions (be it Explorer
|
||||
or command line).
|
||||
- All the plumbings.
|
||||
- Many porcelains, in particular, checkout, add, rm, commit, diff,
|
||||
branch, merge, rebase, log, show, bisect, grep...
|
||||
- pull, clone, fetch via ssh.
|
||||
- local pull, clone, fetch.
|
||||
- gitk, if invoked as "wish84 <prefix>\bin\gitk", but there are
|
||||
artefacts in its layout.
|
||||
|
||||
This does not work:
|
||||
|
||||
- pull, clone, fetch via native GIT protocol.
|
||||
- push
|
||||
- blame
|
||||
- daemon, svn, *import, cvs*
|
||||
- and certainly a lot more that I never have found a need to look at.
|
||||
|
||||
Caveats (aka bugs):
|
||||
|
||||
- The automatic pager of commands like log or diff does not work
|
||||
correctly: It does not display some portion of text at the end.
|
||||
That is, if what you should see is less than 4K, you see nothing at
|
||||
all; otherwise something up to 4K at the end is missing. Use
|
||||
`git log | less' in these cases. Or `set PAGER=cat' (which is
|
||||
optimized to skip the pager entirely).
|
||||
- Internally, the ported tools must do their own command line quoting
|
||||
when other plumbings are executed. This sort of quoting is currently
|
||||
implemented *very* simplistic: It just watches out for whitespace
|
||||
and double quote `"' characters. This may become a problem if you have
|
||||
exotic characters in your file names.
