Since 4cfc24afc9ff the\ncomplete library is linked again, so we can build git-shell on Windows\nas well. (This fixes 'make install', which depends on that git-shell\nis always built.)\n\nSigned-off-by: Johannes Sixt \n---\ndhruva schrieb:\n> I cloned the git repo from 'git://git2.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git'.\n> I had an earlier msysGIT with build environment.
