Re: BUG I can't start git on Windows 7
Hi, Windows 7 enterprise (Windows [Version 6.1.7601]) I mention it because IMHO windows git is based on cygwin and because I can see cygwin mentioned in error message. I didn't install it by hand, I think it was part of git installation package.

One reason might be is that MinGW is originally a fork of some very early Cygwin release so may be some error message is lingering there, unmodified. 1. http://stackoverflow.com/a/24406417/720999 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Re: BUG I can't start git on Windows 7
For others who are lazy to open the link, solution is executing this as administrator from your bin folder from where git is installed: rebase.exe -b 0x5000 msys-1.0.dll or reboot, but some people don't reboot their PC's ever, so you might prefer this.
