bzr fast-export-from-git doesn't find git although version 1.6 installed in %PATH%:

D:\tmp\ordnung>bzr fast-export-from-git . ordnung.fi
bzr: ERROR: git missing. Please install Git 1.6 or later and try again.

D:\tmp\ordnung>git --version
git version 1.6.2.1217.gd7bc3

D:\tmp\ordnung>dir /b c:\Programme\Git\cmd (This directory is listed in %PATH%)
git.cmd
gitk.cmd

I've found that replacing "git" by "git.cmd" in /exporters/__init.py removed the error, apparently subprocess cannot handle windows scripts.

I believe it can, but you have to pass "shell=True" for that to work.

The other alternative is to rename "git.cmd" into "git.exe"...

Ah - ok. I'll add that tweak before I release 0.9.

Try the fix in rev 227 please.

[Ian Clatworthy (ian-clatworthy)]

Make that rev 228.

[Erik Hahn (erikhahn)]

Works fine.
