How can I get Bash v4 for msysgit 1.9.2? I need it for 'globstar'
shopt support. Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately you can't.
Newer bash versions don't work with the current msys layer.

See http://mingw.5.n7.nabble.com/bash-4-x-for-MSYS-td5605.html for a
more in depth discussion.

Thanks for the info. Really quite disappointing that the discussion
linked was from 3 years ago but still no progress. I wish I could use
cygwin to use GIT but LESS doesn't work for log, reflog, and other
commands.
