Hi Cedric,

Thanks for the script, and attached is a similar thing 
for windows, fgaircrafts.bat, including a fgall.txt 
file...

I have NOT run it to completion yet... that is all 385 
aircraft, which would take hours, but it seems to work 
fine... 

And have NOT tried it if there is a SPACE character 
in the file name, or target directory, but I think 
it will fail...

One caveat, hopefully ONLY for me, and that is the 
windows port of the git suite 1.7.4 from msgsys does not 
seem as 'stable' in my XP machine as say that in my 
Ubuntu, and every now and then I get 'weird' errors...

Most of the time a 'git pull' will either do the 
update fine, or report 'Already up-to-date', but 
sometimes ;=(( I get -

".../git-pull cannot be used without a working tree."
or
"Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref 'master'
from the remote, but no such ref was fetched"

However, without changing anything, just repeating 
the 'git pull' 2 or more times will usually clear this 
up...

And similarly for 'git push...' does nothing, or get an 
abort dialog... usually before the request for the 
passphrase, but REPEATING the operation 2 or MORE 
times usually does the trick...

I find this happens both in a 'normal' command 
prompt, AND in the 'special' git bash prompt... This 
'usage' does not seem to make a difference, so I tend 
to mostly use a standard prompt...

Just hope other have better results in Windows than 
I have ;=() And of course welcome any ideas on how to 
improve this WINDOWS ONLY situation regarding git...

Regards,
Geoff.

PS: Note batch files do NOT operate in 'parallel', 
so the events are completely sequential... that is 
it will not start another clone or pull until the 
previous is completed...

Thus you can NOTE failures, and be prepared to 
repeat those operations ;=(( if that happens...

HUH? Failed with attachments - maybe too large,
or something so have put them here -
