Yes, there are some open issues: (1) git-gui was fixed for the msysgit installer, but it broke for me; but I think I know where to fix it. (2) the non-builtins in $(bindir) don't set argv0_path, and consequently don't find ETC_GITCONFIG. (3) the 'mingw_main undefined' error is still a mystery. I'm about to send a preprocessed file to Steffen (it's a bit large, even compressed, so I'll do that in a private mail). Item (1) I expect to work on later today, but needs some investigation by Steffen and perhaps Shawn. (2) is probably a minor issue. (3) is, well, a mystery, although Steffen's patch works for me, too. Nevertheless, I'd like to know why my original approach does not always work. -- Hannes
