Code Repository Atlassian Buys Competitor BitBucket 150
Roblimo writes "Wow. Atlassian sent press releases out about this, and we're happy for them. But isn't Git easy to install and use — for free, even if your project is proprietary and secret, not open source and public? Whatever. Some people seem to feel better about proprietary software than about FOSS, and the majority of Atlassian's business comes from meeting the needs of behind-the-firewall, proprietary code repositories. At least Atlassian has free versions of its repository for FOSS and small-scale proprietary developers. Which is sort of nice."

That makes a hell of a lot more sense than the article summary.

I'd be happy enough to pay for good Git tooling on Windows, but there doesn't appear to be a way to do so.
What are you talking about? msysgit [google.com] is dead simple to install, and provides you with a perfectly functional Bash shell.
Yeah, I've been wondering how to increase the usability further, by using zsh instead of Bash, but this is not really a pressing issue since Bash is pretty awesome too.
