 I got the mob branch and I fail to see the Makefile. I decided to
just add the pthread related files and push so that someone could
build, I get authentication failures. I had tried to push perl
sometime back when I had a gcc compiler perl (before strawberry perl)
and had similar problems. I am fairly certain I am doing something
wrong but cannot figure it out!

msysgit.git is *not* a git.git clone; it is the MSYS/MinGW environment to
build git.git on Windows.

You should apply the steps 1. to 4. that you mentioned in an earlier mail
and push the result; but you cannot apply 5. because that is a change to
git itself.

I request someone to just pull the archive I have placed just this
time, I will try again for other patches. I will create a clone in a
separate folder for msysgit and keep it ready. Unknowingly, I just
cleaned up the remote and lost all the changes I had pulled earlier :(
