CR: Support for msysgit for Windows

[luckyluke72]

A Change request:

Would it be possible to support Windows with this project?

Unfortunately python is using the fcntl python class which is not available in Windows. There are projects that solves the issue through the portable class. See for example https://github.com/esrlabs/git-repo

Thanks a lot for any feedback!

me too.

Great suggestion. I have decided to it might be better to either start from scratch or start from the esrlabs/git-repo repository as suggested. This is because there are a number of things that repo does poorly that I feel would be better done by starting fresh. Your thoughts?

I am not so expert to give you an informed opinion. On my PC I started a merge between your solution and the esrlabs, but I was in a hurry and I run into problems that required time (and more insights of the code) to be solved.

For this reason, I preferred to propose this change to leverage also from a collective solution from people that knows how to do things better than me.

I would follow any proposal and -- if I am able enough -- I would give my contribution in my spare time.
