Hi dscho,

your arguments seem really strong. (Especially the four years of battle testing, with the memories of constant problems with HOME before.)

I hope they are strong enough to convince Junio to accept this patch; that would help.

PS (about mingwGitDevEnv):

Interesting.

With msysgit, there is the "net installer" - first time I installed msys/mingw sucessfully, it was as easy as Cygwin, perhaps even easier.

When I go to mingwGitDevEnv home page, I read about chickens, eggs, and upgrading Perl (which msysGit simply gives up, hinting that it is almost impossible). So I decided to wait for their Git 2.0.0 release before I try to install it (again).

I apologize for being so cheeky, I hope it will help anyway...

PPS: from marketing point of view, mingwGitDevEnv is far from usable
name.  Dscho, if you support the idea, would you mind franchising
msysGit 2.0 for a decent amount?
