The problem is that gitfiletree use OSProcess and OSProcess use Stdio to
get the state or the exit value of a command for example.
But in Windows Stdio is just an ugly hack. It doesn't use the stdio but
create 3 files (stdin, stderr' stdout) in the working directory and
write/read this files. But as Windows doesn't use that we can't
communicate with the system.

I tried to have some look at it but I don't even know if it is a vm or
an image problem. Some says that the dll for that is wrong, some says
that this is an image problem. I don't have the knowledge and the time
to go deeper on that problem.

So in order to fix a lot of problem on windows we need to fix the Stdio
but we need someone who have the time and the knowledge and we do not
have a lot of developers that can manage stdio on windows even if we
have users.
