Hi,
a) are there any problems that you know of using git from the windows shell?
None in principle here (and from what I've garnered through the discussion, I am supportive of the move, as long as we don't deprecate the SVN trunk too quickly), but do we have anyone, even just one person, who is already reasonably facile in this regard who'd be willing to support others through the transition?
I would not claim to be very experienced, but I have not had any problems using msysgit with either the windows shell or the (rather good) windows power shell. The bash shell does have problems but the windows shells have proved more useful.
It depends a lot on the part that I am working on. I wouldn't want to switch statsmodels where I do my main development to git.
I don't think it is anyone's intention to force you to use git for your own packages :)
As long as it is possible to stick with the basic workflow of git without anything fancy, similar what I have seen while skimming the nipy docs, I think it is not a problem on windows. The basic commands and for example eclipse, GUI plugins look similar enough.
We started some time ago a document in that respect: instead of describing git's features, we have a workflow-oriented document: http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/wiki/GitWorkflow David
