Please read this as a suggestion to include mount.exe to the Git

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.
I agree. We should not install tools that we do not need and we
should remove tools ASAP after we no longer need them.
