You installed MSYS in E:\Msys
You installed MSYSGIT in E:\msysgit\msysgit

That means you have two versions of the MSYS runtime in two different
directories.  The runtime file is msys-1.0.dll and is located in the
bin/ directory under each of the installed directories.  I instructed
you to remove the one from the MSYSGIT distribution to avoid address
space collision.

MSYS provides a means to map a Windows directory to a POSIX style
directory by means of a file in /etc/fstab.  Note that /etc is mapped
to bin/msys-1.0.dll/../../etc automatically by MSYS.

My reference to E:/msysgit/msysgit /opt/msysgit was adding a mapping
of your installed E:/msysgit/msysgit to a POSIX variant /opt/msysgit.
So add the following line to E:/Msys/etc/fstab:

E:/msysgit/msysgit /opt/msysgit

In POSIX ~ references the users HOME directory which you can find by
echoing $HOME environment variable in the MSYS shell.

echo $HOME

My reference to adding /opt/msysgit/bit to PATH in the ~/.profile file
means that the PATH environment variable would contain the path to the
git executable every time you begin the MSYS instance.
