>The only platform I know of where git works less than brilliantly is >Windows, which ones are you struggling with? I think the picture is slightly different. On Windows, Git is just ugly and awful, you have to install and configure a zillion of tools to get finally _incomplete_ support. I do not want to start a DVCS war here. It is not the proper place. And I do not argue the decision to use Git for CouchDB. I just want to get up-to-date sources. Yes, I tried Windows and I failed.
The main platform is Ubuntu 11.04. Only here I can really run the etap tests. I am afraid the real problem is that the proxy setting is not respected somewhere. Because I _could_ clone the Git repository via an Eclipse plugin (pure Java Git implementation) using Eclipse's proxy definition. But the quality of the Eclipse plugin is so low that I could not go any further. When I try the command line, Git fails to connect to the server. All the other applications work properly. Git is installed via the standard Ubuntu way. I even tryed the 'hg-git' to get the sources via Mercurial (because Mercurial works for me like a charm on both Ubuntu and Windows). Unfortunately, it also has the problems with proxy definition. I do not want to waste your time trying to solve it. I just want to know whether I can somehow get access to the latest source. - Andrey
