I thought busybox was being used for the core commands? Is ash not complete/usable enough (with all the fixes git has had for broken shells) to be used?

I do agree that perl looks unavoidable, but I thought the windows port already avoided at least bash. Not true?

(or is it just that even with ash, you end up hitting all the same issues with cygwin/msys?)
