You need to look for the pull request 318 https://github.com/msysgit/git/pull/318 if you want to use VS.
You don't say what you mean by "required to" (compelled?). There is also some work on a new Mys2 sdk that is well advanced https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pulls 9 see the various discussions on the recent issues), as well as some work on the older Msys(1) with both building from source using gcc compiler.

Can't use the installer unfortunately. I don't seem to find the visual studio files (sln and vcproj) for this build. Any idea where i can find them? Anybody has a sample install script that I can refer to? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
