Okay, if you have suggestions how I could reword it so to avoid confusion
like this, I am all ears.

I am slightly negative on this: mount.exe has nothing to do with Git, and
our installer is really stripped down (and will be stripped down further,
if I get the time to sort out which Perl modules are unneeded).
The scope of our Git installer is really to provide Git, and Git only.
Hopefully a bit more than what is available from git.git, as I would like
to include Git-Cheetah, but note that this is still about Git, and not
about MSys. We only include parts of MSys out of necessity.
Ciao,
Dscho
