The master repository for the AppEngine-Base project is stored on GitHub:
 
http://github.com/mckoss/appengine-base
 
Windows users can install the Git client: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/

I use these settings:
- Add Git Bash Here, Add Git GUI Here
- Run Git and included Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt
- Use OpenSSH
- Use Windows style line endings (this will store LF-terminated lines in the repository
  while letting you use CRLF terminated lines in your Windows text editor) - note that
  this could modify files that are mixed termination or CRLF terminated in an     existing 

repository.

Configure Git from the command prompt:
  - ssh-keygen -C "your@email.com" -t rsa
    (this will put your SSH keys in c:\Users\Username\.ssh\)
  - get config --global user.name "Your Name"
  - get config --global user.email "your@email.com"

- Sign up for a GitHub.com account.
  - https://github.com/account - add the contents of your .ssh\id_rsa.pub file
    to your list of SSH Keys
- get config --global github.username your-username
  - Is this needed?
