not really, and I'm trying to evangelise git in a traditional dev shop
which knows (or thinks it knows anyway!) only VSS and perhaps a little
CVS, plus of course the usual perforce and clearcase for large
customers who can pay.  So, the more "stable" something is, the
happier I will be in the long term.

Great -- thanks!  I didn't realise this distinction.  Makes sense, and
is very good to knw.

This is exactly what I finally decided to do, after experimenting with
all the options.  Sadly, it still means that dev-to-dev push/pull
won't work (they'd have to go through the central server), but it was
either that or have everyone install cygwin rather than msysgit.

If I can bother you guys with one more question: how do you do the
"git GUI here" and "git BASH here" stuff when you right click on a
directory in Windows?  That's so cool, and the cygwin stuff doesn't
have it...!
