What's the status on this bug? I have an Windows box which I might use to debug this issue.

If you are interested I added new gsv installers in the ftp.

modified select.select patch

This is a slight modification to rejected patch for allowing version control diffing on Windows that applies cleanly to HEAD 50347304.

Comment 10 Kai Willadsen 2013-03-31 04:29:38 UTC 
These last two patches have been sitting around for too long. The last of these doesn't seem necessary to me; Meld + Git works fine on Windows without it, or any other special treatment (other than the \\ -> / replacement).

I've applied and pushed the select.select patch, so that should be fixed.

I'm sure there's still portability issues on Windows, but most of those are being addressed in individual bugs at this stage, so I'm going to close this. Thanks for the bug report and patches.
