I did some additional research of my own, it seems that the only thing that should really be os dependent is in the working dir and the index file and since this is not relevant for pure push/fetch I think it might work ok using Cygwin's Git.
But who knows... msysGit includes a lot of different patches to get it to work well in Windows and many of them are not merged into the core Git and who knows really whether one of them can affects this. Also I think trying to add msysGit after the Cygwin $PATH might still have something explode since the binaries in the libexec/git-core are dependent on dlls in the bin directory... and they might have similar names to Cygwin binaries and having the Cygwin dlls earlier in the $PATH might cause it to bomb. (Git seems to invoke "git-receive-pack", "git-upload-pack" vs "git receive-pack", "git upload-pack" requiring the libexec/git-core directory). I might just have to ask on the msysGit mailing list :P Thanks. -- 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
