I say this as a git user: msysgit works well, but that's not the same thing as working well on Windows. hq feels native on Windows in a way that git doesn't.

Having just installed hit on windows, the feeling I got was that there is msysgit, or running it on cygwin. Msysgit's homepage feels... Precarious, like it's part abandoned.

It does work, once you answer a question of which of three ways it should awkwardly integrate into your PATH, but within a cygwinesque bash shell.

So yeah, functional but nowhere near as smooth and seamless as python on windows is, or as one might pick up from your comment.

I seriously want to know. Have you actually used msysgit for any length of time on a relatively large project?
