<br>For me the problem is that, while bash is certainly a superior "language" than Windows command language (a la cmd.exe),<br>bash does not always map to Windows concepts/assumptions very nicely. This often leads to things occurring in unexpected <br>

<br>Also, Git _is_ worse on Windows than it is on *nix. It's just not as bad as it _used_ to be. It's functional. It works. But it is difficult to deal with, <br>and a lot of Windows users I have talked to (as well as myself, of course) just don't like using it.<br>
<br>I'm not necessarily saying that that means Twisted shouldn't use Git. But it _should_ be considered as a factor.<br><br>Kevin Horn<br>
