-Can it be built on Windows?
+The git-annex Windows port is not ready for prime time. But it does exist
+now! --[[Joey]] 
 
-short answer: not yet
+## status
 
-First, you need to get some unix utilities for windows. Git of course.
-Also rsync, and a `cp` command that understands at least `cp -p`, and
-`uuid`, and `xargs` and `sha1sum`. Note that some of these could be
-replaced with haskell libraries to some degree.
-
-There are probably still some places where it assumes / as a path
-separator, although I fixed probably almost all by now.
-
-Then windows versions of these functions could be found,
-which are all the ones that need POSIX, I think. A fair amount of this,
-the stuff to do with signals and users, could be empty stubs in windows.
-The file manipulation, particularly symlinks, would probably be the main
-challenge.

-A good starting point is
-<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/unix-compat-0.3.0.1>. However, note
-that its implementations of stuff like `createSymbolicLink` are stubs.

+* `git annex add` doesn't work
+* test suite doesn't work
+* 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.
