This confusion comes from the fact that major part of msysGit is packaged with Git for Windows to be used at runtime. If you insist on msysGit-is-a-development-environment, you have to admit that msysGit is technically a fork of msys. My approach undoes this fork step and uses upstream runtime environment as-is, be it msys, msys2, Cygwin or even SUA [1]. I could even make it a noop and say "dear user, I don't care how, but please put sh/awk/find/etc on PATH to make Git work, like things normally happen in *nix world". Actually, even if Git was pure C, things like `git filter-branch` would be almost useless without coreutils & friends. > After all, there is no reason for yet another fork. If there wasn't, mingwGitDevEnv would not be started. I'd say I am doing a 'rebase' instead of 'fork' by using codebase of Git for Windows (upstream Git sources with Windows-specific patches) but replacing msysGit-provided runtime environment with another one.
