|
* Does not support encryption with gpg.
|

|
|
|
* Does not work with Cygwin's build of git (that git does not consistently
|

|
|
|
support use of DOS style paths, which git-annex uses on Windows).

Must use the upstream build of git for Windows.

|
|
|
* Test suite works and passes, but 6 tests are disabled due to failing.
|
|
|
|
|
* Directory and rsync special remotes are known buggy.

|
|
|
* Bad file locking, it's probably not safe to run more than one git-annex
|
|
|
|
|
process at the same time on Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
* No support for the assistant or webapp.

|
|
|
* Ssh connection caching does not work on Windows, so `git annex get`
|
|
|
|
|
has to connect twice to the remote system over ssh per file, which
|
|
|
|
|
is much slower than on systems supporting connection caching.
