[PATCH v2 2/2] mingw: remove msysGit/MSYS1 support

From: Harshil-Jani via GitGitGadget <hidden>
Date: 2023-02-02 03:51:46
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: Harshil-Jani <redacted>

MSys has long fallen behind MSYS2 in features like Unicode or
x86_64 support or even security bug fixes, and is therefore no
longer used by anyone in the Git developer community. The Git for
Windows project itself started switching from MSys to MSYS2 early
in 2015, i.e. about eight years ago. Let's drop supporting MSys as
a development platform.
