Ah, what a crazy and dangerous world Windows is ;)

I agree and pushed the following to mob

faeb4e3df9fb7c853dd1a46d6942776d4a743545

I forced a non-fast-forward of mob. Is this ok? Apparently it's allowed.

Another question related to mob. How do I need to setup /git/.git/config to be able to push to git's mob?

ssh://mob@repo.or.cz/srv/git/mingw/4msysgit.git

doesn't work for me.

Could the installer setup the mob branches? Or is this too dangerous? At least it would help new developers to get going. It took me some time to find the right setup for mob of msysgit and I was not able to set it up for git. And I heard about the mob concept already before.
