FWIW (and related to the subject line in this thread), I think there are a lot of git users on Windows who just use the cygwin one. That's what I do, and git-svn works fine (I don't use autocrlf though, which is probably why it worked). git's support for both platforms, and the fact that cygwin was first and works already, probably greatly reduces the number of developers who want to fix msysgit.

Have fun,
