I ran into a problem just yesterday trying to set up git-svn on Windows. A bit of Googleing revealed that there's a bug in the installer of the latest Windows version of Git. It's just not including all the perl modules that git-svn needs. I've heard that there are workarounds, but I personally just installed 1.7.10 and went on my merry way. -PJ Gehm's Corollary to Clark's Law: Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
