git submodule + gettext / envsubst

Hi, I recently faced some error messages when using git submodules. I found, that Cygwin's git works nicely on its own. But when I have MSYS binary paths in my environment, Cygwin's git finds the msys gettext and envsubst binary and tries to use it, resulting in error messages (see below). I di
