Wow, what a great suggestion!

This probably sounds stupid but I have msysgit installed on a separate 
machine.  My main development machine has TortoiseSVN but, when I 
initially installed MsysGit on the same machine, all hell broke out.!  
So I had to install Git on a different machine with common access to the 
same network drive.

So with that in mind, I just took a look at the MsysGit machine and 
you're right.!  'rm' / cp' / 'cmp' etc are all present on it.  So if I 
just switch my gtkmm development to that machine, hopefully this will 
"just work".  Many thanks.
