Re: [julia-users] Re: installing julia via cygwin

[Tony Kelman]

It's been reported in a different thread that Julia with newer bundled git 
doesn't start in cygwin without some modifications, so the options here are 
either try to fix the Pkg git issue so it can work with cygwin's git for 0.4, 
or wait for 0.5 which no longer uses command line git for Pkg.
