Don't do that. I got errors almost right away when trying that (I need text mode to interface with some other programs), so Cygwin-git is a no-go for me at the moment. Of course, mixing msys-Git with Cygwin and ActiveState Perl is also an interesting experience, to say the least :-) -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ - 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
