I have experimented with GIT on my linux system successfully but one of my projects has to be done on Windows (neither VMware Workstation nor Wine can help at the moment) so I got a copy of the mingw port of GIT (http://lilypond.org/git/binaries/mingw/git-1.5.2.1-1.mingw.exe).

Installation succeeded without a single error but when I tried to run a few GIT commands I noticed a "bug":

the git.exe command does not recognize any scripted subcommand (git-clone in my case) !

> C:\Programme\Git>git clone
> git: 'clone' is not a git-command

Do I need another software package ? I tried to install the Mingw package itself, but it did not help at all.
