Public service reminder: "msysgit" is not a MSYS-git. The git program that they
ship is, in fact, a full-fledged port of git to W32 (i.e. mingw-git), which is
achieved by applying lots of patches (~300KB last time i checked) on top of
git. It is, however, bundled with MSYS1, as parts of git are written in shell
language and thus need a POSIX shell. Also, last time i checked the MSYS1
version they shipped itself had a few patches applied on top of it[1].
