Issue 29: Change to another more user-friendly terminal
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=29

Comment #10 by bbbush.yuan:
Anyone using cygterm? I use that with putty, to run cygwin, the command is like this:
D:\cygwin\putty\putty.exe -cygterm -

Then, inside cygwin I'd start a "screen" session.
Finally, I'd like to run msysgit inside screen. My settings are:

alias git='TERM=cygwin PATH= /opt/Git/cmd/git.cmd'
alias mshell='TERM=cygwin PATH= /opt/Git/bin/sh.exe --login -i'

As you can see, I want to have 2 different use cases. The first one is to pretend my complex setup as the same environment that "cmd" provides. The second one is similar. But neither of them work well, would anyone please help? The problem with first is
"git diff" doesn't work (error message is "fatal: ambiguous argument '[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]':
unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions"), also anything requires "less" doesn't work. Problem with the second is "screen" is not a recognized terminal, no colors, sometimes bash command line editing doesn't echo, the shell quits at "ctrl-c" at any time, etc. Also the first alias is defined in ~/.bashrc thus will also appear in the msys shell... I guess both can be
fixed easily?
