Hi,
I just realised -- too late -- that you were contacting me directly, not
even Cc'ing [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Don't do that.

The preferred method -- if you want to contribute -- is to use the net
installer, since that already does the repository setups for you.

That is not the "temp/msys" branch of msysgit.git, but the msys.git
repository (a cvsimport from sf.net/projects/mingw's CVS).

That's not the correct syntax. What you asked is to checkout the msys.git
repository into the _directory_ origin/msys/.
Also, it is not the correct remote repository. We are msysgit, not msys.

My best bet: redo the install with the net installer. Then do
cd / && git checkout -b temp/msys origin/temp/msys
After that successfully finishes, you can run
/src/perl/release.sh
but that's not really necessary, as that branch has already perl 5.8.8
installed.
