Sorry I wasn't clear: I want neither.  I don't think I will have
enough free time to become an active contributor to GIT any time
soon.  OTOH, since binaries are not available (and I'd prefer a
tarball as opposed to an installer, to be more in control of what's
being installed and where), I asked about the development tools
(compiler and Binutils, obviously, but what else?) required to build
the source tarball with MinGW tools.

Do I understand correctly that building GIT currently requires MSYS?
That'd be unfortunate, at least for me.

Anyway, thanks for replying.
