Has version control been tested on Windows? I have Git so just tried it 
out...

It wasn't obvious from Configure whether I needed to do anything more 
but eventually I found the "More info" docs. So then I tried "File > 
Save Version?" This said version control was not yet enabled, so I 
confirmed I wanted it and this greated a .git repository but the Zim GUI 
froze and never came back.

Now Zim won't start up and (as before on Windows) Zim -D is not 
generating a log.

At this point I noticed there is a new version of Git for Windows so ran 
the install to bring it up to v1.18 (git-scm.com). The installer noticed 
Git.exe was running and closed it, at which point the Zim GUI woke up 
and showed this error dialog:

   Failed to run application: git
   git "commit" "-a" "-m" "Automaticallyse saved version from zim"
   returned non-zero exit status -1073741510

Note that despite this error a ".git" repository was present before Zim 
unfroze, but has disappeared now but this may be because I disabled sync 
of .git in Dropbox? That would explain absense of ".zim" here also.

It could be that Dropbox is the culprit here. Can you stop sync without 
Dropbox doing this!!!? Should I just let it sync ".git" (which I don't 
like to do?!).

Zim 0.58 / Windows 7

Thanks,

Mark
