I have to wonder how you called it... From msys.bat, cd'ing into a 
valid repository, I had no issues whatsoever.

I called it from rxvt. I tried it now under cmd and it's all good. Did 
you try rxvt in this case?

I had no issues like that in rxvt.  But "git push" via ssh was a no go.  
even with the "ssh://.." syntax.  Since it works in cmd, I'll stay with 
cmd for now, but I'd like to see a working rxvt.

I notice that with your net installer (great job btw!), I get the 
msysgit.git reop under /.git and the mingw.git repo under /git/.git but 
there is no /git in /.gitignore. Is this overlap intended?  Isn't this a 
case for submodules?

Exactly.  My bad.  Dmitry pointed out that I should not have done that, 
and I'm in the middle of setting it up as a submodule.

Ciao,
