I briefly considered this. But my patch actually does something different than hiding an error condition. It copes with the very peculiar situation we have on Windows. I still would like to see the warning if something goes wrong -- _outside_ /git/. > This only silences the warning, but there is no guarantee that the > resulting git suite works because your msysgit developer may not have > installed stuff in C:\msysgit\libexec\git-core, yet. The good thing: it still works. Why? Because Git actually does _not_ search the Git binaries in libexec/git-core. It adds that directory to PATH and lets the PATH lookup handle the searching. So it kind of works, but in a different manner than you think it works. But that cannot be helped.
