It worked correctly here with

$ pacman -Sy

$ pacman -S git

<output elided>

$ git --version
git version 1.8.4.3

There were lots of warnings on pacman's output, like this:

atención: directory ownership differs on /usr/
filesystem: 1003:513  package: 1000:513
atención: directory ownership differs on /usr/bin/
filesystem: 1003:513  package: 1000:513

"atención" here means "warning".


This is a great addition. I was a bit wary of MSYS2 size and coverage
(it contained too much stuff that I'll never use and can conflict with
other installed software) but now I have no excuse for delaying the
switch to MSYS2. Thanks so much.
