This bug report was originally raised to address Wine's deficiency in
supporting Windows apps that operate by means of Windows shell extensions.  It
was originally submitted more than 3 and 1/2 years ago and has been added to
very sparingly over the last year.  The last update was almost 5 months ago and
only addressed the issue with respect to the single case of TortoiseSVN.  I'm
adding this comment to hopefully breathe new life into the prospect of Wine
supporting Windows apps that operate by means of Windows shell extensions more
generally - that is, not just for the specific case of TortoiseSVN.

Now... Having written the above, I arrive at this juncture after experimenting
with the specific case of attempting to get TortoiseGit to run as an extension
of WineFile, WineExplorer, or a third-party file management utility like one of
these (for instance):

By the way, I was able to install and run under Wine each of the Windows
Explorer alternatives covered by the above link.  However, no luck getting
TortoiseGit to pop up as a shell extension.

Would be really cool if I could use the same Windows shell extension apps under
Wine as I do under Windows.

Thanks!
