there. Foolishly, I had glossed over the msysgit installers on the project home (I think I thought they were Git for Windows installers).Yeah, the installer sets up a fully self-contained MSYS-based development environment to hack on Git for Windows.
I keep advertizing my mingwGitDevEnv [1] project which aims to become an alternative to the current msysGit net installer [2]. The advantage of mingwGitDevEnv will be that it comes with an mingw-get based environment, i.e. you can very easily update / add new MinGW / MSYS tools directly from upstream. Just today I reached a state were mingwGitDevEnv can successfully build git.exe, but git-gui etc. are still missing due to a lack of mingw-get compatible Tcl/Tk packages.
