I recognized that '.' is included in the PATH in /etc/profile.
I don't think this is a good idea. At least it bit me once when
I expected to run /bin/git but instead /git/./git was chosen.
Shouldn't we remove '.' from the PATH?

In my experience, Windows users (not Mac users forced to use Windows)
_expect_ "." to be in the PATH.

Ah, what a crazy and dangerous world Windows is ;)

Regarding the tclsh thing:  IMHO to unwaste space, we should add a

	#!/bin/sh
	exec tclsh84 "$@"

instead.  MinGW does not have symlinks, and we should not put more  
space
to waste than Windows does already, by copying files around (yes, the
repository will not care, but the working tree will).

I agree and pushed the following to mob

faeb4e3df9fb7c853dd1a46d6942776d4a743545

I forced a non-fast-forward of mob. Is this ok? Apparently it's allowed.


Another question related to mob. How do I need to setup /git/.git/config
to be able to push to git's mob?

ssh://mob@repo.or.cz/srv/git/mingw/4msysgit.git

doesn't work for me.

Could the installer setup the mob branches? Or is this too dangerous?
At least it would help new developers to get going. It took me some time
to find the right setup for mob of msysgit and I was not able to set it
up for git. And I heard about the mob concept already before.
