This patch fixes #22 which adds git info support for windows. It is implemented just like the Linux version (ie using subprocess shells). Unfortunately on windows processes are much heavier so it is pretty slow. I think to get it as fast as the Linux version we would have to depend on something like luagit2.

I'm not sure if luagit2 ships with the actual C library or that needs to be installed separately. It's up to you whether or not this patch set is good enough or I should explore using the libgit2 bindings for windows.

Hi @Allotec, sorry for only now geting back to you. Unfortunately, I have no windows system to test this with. Actually, I also don't really have a compatible unix system to test this anymore 😅 Would you be interested in taking this project over? As it stands right now, it's barely maintained at all (by me)
