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

The changes that I've made:

Completely forgot: we might want to do something like this at the end of 
/etc/profile:

	test ! -d /git || {
		mv /git $HOME/ &&
		cd $HOME/git &&
		make install &&
		git config remote.origin.url \
			git://repo.or.cz/git/mingw.git
		git config remote.origin.fetch \
			'+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'
		git config remote.mob.url \
			repo.or.cz:/srv/git/git/mingw.git
		git config remote.mob.fetch \
			+refs/remote/mob:refs/remotes/origin/mob
		git config remote.mob.push \
			master:mob
		git fetch
		git reset 51785010a4d3e7f6c3
	}

Please test that, and include it if it works.

It would be a bit easier if perl would work (it is installed, but for some 
reason (cd perl && make) does not do its job).
