the code is 64 bit clean, does it not work if you compile it with a 64 bit compiler on windows?
or are you saying that git needs to provide pre-compiled binaries for 64 bit windows?

Pre-compiled binaries are necessary. I really don't have enough time to work out how to navigate
the maze that is preparing an mingw/msys environment followed by working out how to build git,
package it into an installer, etc.

err compiling git on msys should be just
./configure
make
make install
you may or may not have to call configure with --prefix=/usr to get a usable result... but I don't think git has much in the way of dependencies... unless you want things like gitk or git-svn
('course I am assuming you already have MSYS installed...)

Oh yea if you do what I said you don't need an installer, just fire up your MSYS shell and use git from there

But then I'm using git in msys, not the nicely-packaged msysgit. And I would need to have a 64-bit
msys environment installed on the developer's systems. Does that even exist?
