Oddly I'm not able to find any instructions on how to build Git for Windows. I've done a clone of the repository here:

https://github.com/msysgit/git

I did attempt to try doing it myself. I installed 'make' and mingw-gcc in Cygwin and attempted 'make' from the git directory but it fails immediately (I can post information on the failure if needed, but I'm assuming I'm not taking the correct approach).

Can someone point me to some instructions on how to build Git for Windows? Thanks.
