If there are so many windows users, then how can it be that none of them managed to explain what the actual problem with stdio handling is. I had asked about the problem a while ago, but I still haven't got an answer: http://forum.world.st/Google-Code-Shutdown-tt4814760.html#a4840937 .

The problem is that gitfiletree use OSProcess and OSProcess use Stdio to get the state or the exit value of a command for example. But in Windows Stdio is just an ugly hack. It doesn't use the stdio but create 3 files (stdin, stderr' stdout) in the working directory and write/read this files. But as Windows doesn't use that we can't communicate with the system.
ah yes, I remember when I made that :) it was for been able to run CI on windows⦠and I remember I told Christophe âletâs do this crap until we find a real solutionâ. That was like 4yrs ago :P So, I still does not have a real solution because GetStdHandle funtion in windows does not work for non console apps. Maybe we could solve this redirecting the outputs (SetStdHandle)? Iâm not a windows user and I donât really know deeply this stuff, but Iâd gladly accept any contribution to fix this issue (or at least to fix OSProcess). Esteban
I tried to have some look at it but I don't even know if it is a vm or an image problem. Some says that the dll for that is wrong, some says that this is an image problem. I don't have the knowledge and the time to go deeper on that problem.
So in order to fix a lot of problem on windows we need to fix the Stdio but we need someone who have the time and the knowledge and we do not have a lot of developers that can manage stdio on windows even if we have users.
