Subject: [PATCH v4 01/13] mingw: include the Python parts in the build
Message-ID: <0b8ca0e3b991eb28dc0cd3a99db8997a73177069.1789020327.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <pull.2195.v4.git.1789020327.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

While Git for Windows does not _ship_ Python (in order to save on
bandwidth), MSYS2 provides very fine Python interpreters that users can
easily take advantage of, by using Git for Windows within its SDK.
