Well, some say that you can, but I'm not sure (especially since you're=20 using Cygwin in Windows EOL mode, which is opposite of MSys). The way I use it is either from the MSys shell, or directly from CMD=20 shell. (If you have PATH=3Dc:\msysgit\bin;C:\msysgit\mingw\bin;%PATH% it = works quite well like that.) Actually, I use CMD most of the time.. --=20 =2Emarius --------------enig058375CEE62311CAC16513AE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) iD8DBQFGurhrKzzXl/njVP8RAuZJAJ4huhzpm4QCgiec0mxMi9Tf/F1iFACg34AC ojXBm3X1uKiZOCXn0NryX7s= =Ho/d -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig058375CEE62311CAC16513AE--
