Git on MSys (or how to make it easy for Windows users to compile git)

Hi,

I finally broke down, waiting for the sourceforge project to get granted.  
In the meantime, I registered a project at

	http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/

(WARNING: temporary only!)

Would you believe that Google code has a restriction to 20MB per file, and 
100MB in total, and you cannot remove files?  The same Google that gives 
you 1TB mail space and counting?  Yes, it is ludicrous.

Anyway, you can get a complete Development environment in 3 files (because 
one would be too large), and... oh well, just read what is written on the 
website if you're really interested.

The plan is to move to Source forget ;-) when they finally approve the 
project, or stay with Google, should they decide to lift the quota a bit.

Dmitry already reported a buglet preventing gcc to run without changes on 
Vista, his theory is that the infamous access() function is at fault.  So 
if you are unlucky enough to be stuck with Vista, just copy 
msysGit/mingw/libexec/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/cc1.exe to msysGit/mingw/bin/ and 
you're set.

Ciao,
Dscho
