Windows msysgit is out of date

[orien3243]

To help us help you, please include the logs from around the time the issue occurred, as well as the SparkleShare version and info about your OS (displayed at the top of the log files). Then, tell us roughly in these steps what went wrong:

OS: Windows 10 64 bit SparkleShare Version: 1.4 MSI

What happened:

the msysgit package is no longer being updated and needs something else to be used.

What I expected to happen:

We need to have sparkleshare switch to msys2 or some equivalent.

upside for msys2 is that it has a built in package manager to help keep these binaries up to date once installed. downside to using msys2 is that it does not come bundled with ssh by default. (however git for windows which uses msys2 does have ssh bundled so it is possible to configure this)

there is also a git for windows sdk that builds a bunch of tools on install also that can be used. I'm playing around right now to see how to make something be a dead drop replacement too.

This happens when:

as soon as sparkleshare is installed.

Thanks for reporting your issue or feature request, it helps lots!

Please note their github repo is marked as read only. just about every *nix binary in the windows sparkleshare package is out of date.
