Git-flow on Windows

I had to spend a day on Windows (OS) today.
Making bunch of open source tools (git  aka msysgit, ssh, cmake, nmake etc.) to work together on Windows is not that pretty.

I really like using git-flow that streamlines the development process with git very nicely.
Here is the useful link on how to get git flow playing nicely with msysgit:

Basically you would have to get the missing getopt.exe with dependencies from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/util-linux-ng.htm.

Hope this saves you a bit of time.
