It seems like it +would be pretty easy for them to add. But I don't know if they will; +the bug is currently closed wontfix. +<https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/347> + +I was finally able to get rsync working with git for windows and git-annex +as follows: + +* Delete the rsync.exe that git-annex-installer.exe installs in Git/cmd +* Install <https://msys2.github.io/> +* In the msys2 shell, "pacman sync rsync" +* Copy /msys32/usr/bin/rsync.exe to /Program Files/Git/usr/bin/ + +So, I could include that rsync.exe in the git-annex for windows. However, since +there are 2 versions of rsync.exe, one which works with git for windows, +and one that works with msysgit, I might not be able to get a git-annex +build for windows that works with both of those versions of git at once. + +If I do switch to only supporting git for windows, I could also drop some +bundled programs from git-annex-installer.exe. These programs are all +bundled with git for windows too: + +* cp +* gpg +* shaNsum + +Leaving only, I think, wget and curl and rsync to be bundled with +git-annex. +"""]] |
