Yes, GIT has had pretty bad Windows support for a long time. Yes, I
didn't check it (simply because I don't have a Windows machine).
On the other hand, we both know that bad news of this "doesn't work on
Windows"-type have a very long half-life, so unless someone who's
reasonably skilled wrt. using SCM systems does a test, there's simply
nothing to put your bet on for the current state.

No, I'm not spreading FUD, at least I don't claim that MSysGit works.
Instead, I do claim that having _one_ official GIT mirror for those
who'd like to use it, is an overall benefit for the project. Please
don't put words into my mouth which I have not said.

I repeat: You have not shown to have a point against introducing an
official (or 'authoritative') GIT mirror. Please explain to me what you
consider to be unprofessional about this claim ?
