Yes it'll be complicated. Right now I think we should punt and just go
back to the old org-version reporting for windows until we can get a
better working solution since the current version breaks on windows.
I'll try to provide a patch for this.
Manish:
What value do you have for system-type? I expect it says 'windows-nt'
If that's true then the problem is determining if
- git is installed
- what version? Msysgit? cygwin git?
- what shells are available (since CMD.exe has little hope of working)
- msysgit bash
- cygwin shell
- cmd (won't work if msysgit was installed with git in the msysgit
bash shell only)
- running some other shell (git-bash, cygwin) so the git executable is
available and provide the right syntax for each to Do The Right
Thing(tm)
Right now I'm inclined to skip the git-version magic if system-type is
windows-nt just to stop it from breaking on that platform.
