Nice site. Wasn't aware of it.

Both works, but the only new file I get is an updating of 
gimp-help-2/.git/FETCH_HEAD. No other files in my folders.

Perhaps I forgot the "-b" or missed something during copying, but the 
final result was that lots of files in my working copy of gimp-help-2 
where deleted or changed!
I stopped thinking and run the git clone command to get a new copy.

Could you mail me the file instead?

I am not very eager at the moment to spend more time on the git 
commands. Better using it on the Cygwin/Windows problem.
