Hi Sebastian.
Is there a way to make msysgit and cygwin work well together?
Not if you mean that both should be in PATH.
That's unfortunate. :-(
I really do not see why msysgit should even look in the path for its
tools.
I can understand how your environment works, however, in our
environment many people are mainly Windows users and we do recognize how
useful *NIX command-line tools are, such as those provided by Cygwin,
but we still want to use them as regular Windows command-line tools -
from the Windows command prompt instead of bash. grep, sed, awk,
unix2dos, dos2unix, wc, ln, nm... all are great tools and we like having
them available in the regular Windows command prompt.
That is why we place the cygwin /bin folder on the PATH and
everything worked fine with this so far.
msysgit we would like to use, if at all possible, as a single git
utility, or possibly a set of git-XXX utilities, all placed on the path
as well.
From the Windows user's perspective... both git and cygwin tools are
just command-line tools one can call. And there should be no need for
them to cause conflicts with each other.
Best regards,
