We've had no problem with it so far  \n(using it for about four months).  I think you can safely use MSysGit  \non Windows. Since it comes with a dedicated installer It is easier to  \ninstall/upgrade than the cygwin version.\n\n>\n>\n> Thanks all!\n> Joe\n>\n\n\tVincent\n\n> -- \n> joe fiorini\n> http://www.faithfulgeek.org\n> // freelancing & knowledge sharing\n> --\n> To unsubscribe from this list: send the line \"unsubscribe git\" in\n> the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org\n> More majordomo info at  http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html\n"},{"id":"83487","messageId":"Pine.LNX.4.64.0807160929400.30902@ds9.cixit.se","threadId":"14472","inReplyTo":"73fd69b50807151458u22a383a3l343779e47f4161fa@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: MSysGit Stability","fromName":"Peter Krefting","fromEmail":"peter@softwolves.pp.se","sentAt":"2008-07-16T08:30:56Z","receivedAt":"2008-07-16T08:30:56Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"peter@softwolves.pp.se","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/990764?v=4"},"body":"Joe Fiorini:\n\n> I'm curious which is better to use and if MSysGit is even stable yet.\n> Does anyone have experience running Git on Windows?

Does anyone have experience running Git on Windows?\n\nPersonally, I don't use it because I rarely use Windows, but I know\npeople who do since the beginning of this year, and in general they are\nhappy with it. It works faster than Cygwin version due to some Git\nspecific optimization put into mingw compatibility layer. So, the only\ncomplain I heard so far is from people who got Cygwin on their computer,\nand they don't like that MSysGit installs MSys, which means another set\nof POSIX utilities such as bash but different version (usually more old)\nand having a different HOME directory.\n\nDmitry\n"},{"id":"83510","messageId":"eaa105840807160532t73e6b851h5b78c0d8ad4c1c1a@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"14472","inReplyTo":"73fd69b50807151458u22a383a3l343779e47f4161fa@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: MSysGit Stability","fromName":"Peter Harris","fromEmail":"git@peter.is-a-geek.org","sentAt":"2008-07-16T12:33:00Z","receivedAt":"2008-07-16T12:33:00Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"git@peter.is-a-geek.org","avatar":null},"body":"On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 5:58 PM, Joe Fiorini wrote:\n>\n>   Does anyone have experience running Git on Windows?\n\nI use msysgit regularly.

No, complaining and \nasking others to do all the work does not account for \"interest\".\n\nCiao,\nDscho\n"},{"id":"83523","messageId":"487E0CB6.6070203@obry.net","threadId":"14472","inReplyTo":"73fd69b50807151458u22a383a3l343779e47f4161fa@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: MSysGit Stability","fromName":"Pascal Obry","fromEmail":"pascal@obry.net","sentAt":"2008-07-16T14:59:02Z","receivedAt":"2008-07-16T14:59:02Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"pascal@obry.net","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/467069?v=4"},"body":"Joe,\n\n> I'm going to be working with a small dev shop in the near future and\n> we would like to use Git for our project.

I'm using Git on Cygwin that I build myself \nalmost every day. I'm also working with git-svn as many projects I'm \nworking on are based on Subversion. At least Git Cygwin is a perfect \nsolution on Windows.\n\n> Any experiences you can share?
