Well, some say that you can, but I'm not sure (especially since you're using Cygwin in Windows EOL mode, which is opposite of MSys). The way I use it is either from the MSys shell, or directly from CMD shell. (If you have PATH=c:\msysgit\bin;C:\msysgit\mingw\bin;%PATH% it works quite well like that.)
Actually, I use CMD most of the time.. -- .marius
