What would you say about this idea: - upload a branch "mingw-devel" to msysgit.git, which is identical to mingw.git's devel, plus our patches. - convert /git to a submodule, fetching from msysgit.git's mingw-devel branch. - adjust /etc/profile for the changes. - make a new net installer and upload it. - But keep doing some full releases in the meantime, which do not clone anything, but rather initialise /git/.git so that people can send in patches? > > It would be nice to have insight in how you went about to identify > > what is needed? > > Well, I've set path to a single directory (C:\GitMe\bin), copies over > bash and git-clone and started running it until it worked.
