It's known problem It's old (at least 2-releases) problem It isn't TorroiseGit-specific, but Tortoise* (I got it with TortoiseSVN) There aren't solution at this time (except unisntall TortoiseGit and use pure hg + hg-git).
I don't have any problems on Windows 7 with TortoiseSVN and TortoiseHg. Perhaps they've stopped supporting XP since it's over 10 years old now? – Cody Gray 2 days ago @CodyGray - Stefan wrote about Win7 problem in early November 2011. Maybe Win7-fix broke XP (I have none workplaces with Win7 now, can speak only for XP) – Lazy Badger 2 days ago.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
