The Vista patch for msys-dll is not yet in CVS (my fault), but is
present in the source tarball. You can also find it as patch4.txt at
the
end of the following page (I will attach it to this message as well
for
your convenience).

So, you could either rebase your mangling patch onto the source
tarball
for msys-1.0.11-20071204 or apply the Vista patch over your work.
I decided to start from sys-1.0.11-20071204 and applied my patches on
top.
The result is on branch spr/msys-p2w-vista .
Could someone test the new msys-1.0.dll on Vista? You could either
check out
spr/msys-p2w-vista or you can download the DLL from
http://repo.or.cz/w/msysgit.git?a=blob;f=bin/msys-1.0.dll;h=c9383aefd8b5a
I have no access to Vista. Thus, I haven't tested the new DLL. I'll
wait
for confirmation that it works on Vista before packing a new release.
Dscho,
I added a script src/rt/release.sh, which downloads the MSYS source
and applies our patches. The script is also on branch spr/msys-p2w-
vista.
I think it should be on the main branch and not hidden on the branch
"msys",
so this is probably not exactly what you expected.

even find a bit more time for Git than usual.
