This isn't a MSYS2 mailing = list. Don't think they have one. Git for Windows does, and somewhere like https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/git-for-windows/jtwpuGa5u_E would have been a pretty good alternate place to ask this question. But I also explained how MSYS2 is very closely related to Cygwin, and pretending they are completely unrelated and have nothing to do with one another is myopic and misleading. If "how are MSYS2 and Cygwin related to one another" is a banned question on this list, perhaps that should be written down somewhere. >>> It doesn't use cygwin, therefore it's not related. Since this is a cygw= in mailing list, >>> that means the first two replies were correct =97 this isn't the place = to discuss it. > > Which means this still applies. When the vast majority of the code in the MSYS2 runtime is exactly the same as the code in the Cygwin runtime, and Git for Windows uses msys-2.0.dll in a number of places (which is essentially a renamed copy of cygwin1.dll) the question was fair. Particularly given Cygwin has its own git package, it's only natural to wonder how that differs from Git for Windows, and how it differs from the probably lesser- known msys2-git package (which is built in very nearly the same configuration as the Cygwin git package, posix style). -Tony -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
