I'm curious what the issues are on the windows side, because I just
plodded through clicking yesterday and got tortoise git installed.  If
we need better instructions, we can definitely do that.

If you just want to get a particular revision of OpenSim, you can do
that without any installed source tools via the tar.gz and zip links
here: http://opensimulator.org/viewgit/?a=summary&p=opensim-test (for
the git testing tree).

Tools changes are a transition, and some learning is going to be
required, but I really believe this will make us all more productive in
the long term.

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
