I'm still too busy, but since I saw your email arriving live and I've Vista here, I kept some minutes for you :)

bad news: here the installation complains around the end (all default answers)
"Could not set CR/LF behavior: core.autoCRLF true"

Using git gui works, calling gitk from it works. But git bash initiates a shell complaining:

==================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------- Building and Installing Git ------------------------------------------------------- sh.exe": cd: /git: No such file or directory

------------------------- Hello, dear Git developer.

This is a minimal MSYS environment to work on Git.
Your build failed...  Please fix it, and give feedback on the Git list.
Welcome to Git (version 1.6.4-preview20090729)

Run 'git help git' to display the help index. Run 'git help <command>' to display help for specific commands. Run '/share/Git (version 1.6.4-preview20090729)/add-shortcut.tcl' to add a short cut to msysGit. ====================================================================

Apparently, git binaries are not in the path. I'll check on a winXP and win2003 environments asap.
