Support for commands in windows

[Krishna-teja]

I am having issues when I install it in windows. Both git smart-pull and git smart-merge are erroring out.

Git smart-merge:

Yes, Windows has no fork command/function, is there a way to support Windows?

In order to get the "git-smart" commands to work under Windows, replace the safe_smart.rb file that comes with this gem (on my machine it is in C:\Ruby22\lib\ruby\gems\2.2.0\gems\git-smart-0.1.10\lib\git-smart\ ) with the version from https://github.com/envato/safe_shell/blob/master/lib/safe_shell.rb . Works fine after that.
