Could someone put together a guide as to how to install TortoiseGit successfully and minimally?
See https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/Git/InstallTortoiseGit
This was done hurriedly, but should be at least close.
I eventually figured it out with help from some kind #boost IRC people. But you should mention in the guide that one needs to get the "Git-1.**.exe" download. As the rest are for doing development of Git itself. And in case anyone is curious that install contains:
* Approximately 72 executables, including: bash, perl, tcl, tk, ssh, bison, bzip2, vim, rxvt, tar, and many more.
* 88 DLLs
* A bunch of help files, as HTML, which is good I guess. But I would have preferred having the option to not install them.
* A total of 2,578 files in 222 directories.
For a total install size of 172MB, and then adding the 18MB for TurtoiseGit, makes for a 190MB footprint.
The TortoiseGit and msysGit installs have lots of issues. If anyone cares, they should report the problems to the TortoiseGit and msysGit folks. --Beman
