Works for me as well now.  One catch is that at work, I'm behind
a firewall so git:// doesn't work for me.  I have a packaged
version that adds curl and expat, enables them in the build, and
then falls back to http:// if git:// fails in /etc/profile.  Is
that something you'd want up on code.google.com?

Ooo, I'd like your built curl and expat libs in a zip, pretty
please! :-)

Then we can add it to the package. The more complete MinGW port,
the better. Do you have anywhere you can put out such a zip, so I
can get ahold of it? You can mail me privately, if you'd like.

I already installed curl, didn't I?

Ah, yes, you did.
However, we don't use it, due to Makefile's
        NO_CURL=YesPlease
for MINGW builds.

Was it in the latest version (0.2)?  I didn't see it there.  Either
way, I had to make a couple changes to the Makefile to get it to work
and also add expat (unless I somehow missed that too).  Marius, do you
still want a zipped copy or do you have it already?

Okay, I am really close to initialising the repository on

	http://repo.or.cz/w/git/mingw/msysgit.git

now.

Everybody interested in contributing, please register as a user on 
repo.or.cz and mail me your user name.

Ciao,
