I think you got confused by our naming.  "Git" is just git.  "msysGit" is 
the development environment.

Well, it is.  If you would have bothered to read the (scarce, 
therefore quick-to-read) documentation on the website, you would have 
found that msysGit-netinstall pulls down such a system.

Although it is quite biased to what we need; so do not even think about 
complaining that your-favourite-tool is lacking from it.
