I can't either.

git: 'co' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
Did you mean one of these?
commit
clone
log
vijay@balrog ~/foo/temp/foo
$ git checkout master~1
Note: checking out 'master~1'.
You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b new_branch_name
HEAD is now at 7564449... test1

Do you mean msysgit? As a GNU/Linux user, I probably don't need to
explain the luxuries a bash prompt gives you. In this scenario, cygwin
is the closest approximation on Windows system.
msysgit comes with its own bash shell etc (which is good) but rather
than go that integration route, it's much simpler to have git working
within cygwin when you're already used to it.
