Hi.

  Is there a way to make msysgit and cygwin work well together?

Currently if I have cygwin installed and on the path then some msysgit commands fail because they pick up some of the utilities they use from the cygwin folder which them do not use compatible path representation with other non-cygwin utilities.

Some examples of failing commands are different 'git clone' variants startable from the initial git gui screen.

We currently use the cygwin version because we need cygwin installed on our developer machines for other reasons, but we really like the way msysgit integrates into the shell so that we can run 'git gui' by selecting it from a right-click popup in the explorer. Wwe can set up such a shortcut ourselves but it would be much more convenient if it would just work out of the box.

  Many thanks.

  Best regards,
