In msvc.h, there's a couple of stat related functions defined diffently from mingw.h. When we remove these definitions, the only problem we get is "warning C4005: '_stati64' : macro redefinition" for this line in mingw.h: #define _stati64(x,y) mingw_stat(x,y) The reason is that as of MSVCR80.dll (distributed with MSVC 2005), the original _stati64 family of functions was renamed to _stat32i64, and the former function names became macros (pointing to the appropriate function based on the definition of _USE_32BIT_TIME_T). Defining _stati64 works on MinGW because MinGW by default compiles against the MSVCRT.DLL that is part of Windows (i.e. _stati64 is a function rather than a macro). Note: MinGW *can* compile for newer MSVC runtime versions, and MSVC apparently can also compile for the Windows MSVCRT.DLL via the DDK (see http://www.syndicateofideas.com/posts/fighting-the-msvcrt-dll-hell ). Remove the stat definitions from msvc.h, as they are not compiler related. In mingw.h, determine the runtime version in use from the definitions of _stati64 and _USE_32BIT_TIME_T, and define stat() accordingly. This also fixes that stat() in MSVC builds still resolves to mingw_lstat() instead of mingw_stat().

Git - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
