Missing git-svn on cygwin

Missing git-svn on cygwin

[Maaartin]

I tried to reinstall potentially relevant parts of my cygwin, I tried to google 
out what else I could do, but without success. According to

figs/I_mediaobject2_d1e1431-web.png
from
http://oreilly.com/software-engineering/excerpts/version-control-git/installing-
git.html
there should be four git* packages, but there's only one.

#git version
git version 1.7.0.4

#git svn
git: 'svn' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

#(cd /c/Programs/cygwin/lib/git-core/; ls git-s*)
git-send-email*     git-shortlog.exe*     git-show.exe*    git-stripspace.exe*
git-send-pack.exe*  git-show-branch.exe*  git-stage.exe*   git-submodule*
git-sh-setup*       git-show-index.exe*   git-stash*       git-symbolic-ref.exe*
git-shell.exe*      git-show-ref.exe*     git-status.exe*

There are more tools missing, eg. gitk and git-gui. Any idea?

I use CygWin and I have all the git tools (git-core, git-svn, git-gui, gitk)
and the version available is 1.7.2.3-1.  

What version of CygWin did you install? Do you use the lastest installer?
CygWin have pass to 1.7 this year. I don't known what happen if we mix the
version 1.5 with 1.7.

I had no idea what I was using, so I downloaded new setup.exe from cygwin.com, 
selected a different mirror (just in case), and it works. It looks like my 
version was simply incomplete and the problem was not related to git at all. I 
have no clue how it came, but it seems to be a problem with cygwin or with the 
mirror I was using before. Actually, I should have tried it without having to 
ask first, but thank you.
