Hmm... how do I get started? I naively chose cygwin as my shell. I set

export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/msysgit/bin

then I tried

$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git c:/msysgit/bin/git-clone: line 214: git-init: command not found

Maybe it's related to the errors during installation?

How can I build and install git manually, based on the result of GitMe-3's basic setup?
