Yes, you should grab the msysGit (the Git for Windows build environment) [2], tweak it to include the new OpenSSH binary, ensure it builds and works OK and then send a pull request (or post your patchset to the msysgit mailing list [3]. A sort of crash course on how to get started is [1]. The main page for the msysGit/Git for Windows development is [4]. Note that there should be no Cygwin involved, of course. Git for Windows is built completely from the sources of all the components it includes, using MinGW/MSYS so no component of Git for Windows depends on the Cygwin runtime DLL. 1. https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/issues/102#issuecomment-13572331 2. http://github.com/msysgit/msysgit 3. http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit 4. http://msysgit.github.com/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
