You forgot to merge my build of the Cygwin kill utility for MSys. Available here:

http://repo.or.cz/w/msysgit.git?a=log;h=refs/heads/mob

Also, when I start git-gui from an empty repository, or try to amend the root commit, I get:

Assertion failed: argv0_path, file exec_cmd.c, line 15

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. Assertion failed: argv0_path, file exec_cmd.c, line 15

    while executing
"exec {C:/Program Files/Git/libexec/git-core/git-mktree.exe} << {}"
    ("eval" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"eval exec $opt $cmdp $args"
    (procedure "git" line 23)
    invoked from within
"git mktree << {}"
    (procedure "PARENT" line 9)
    invoked from within
"PARENT"
    (procedure "rescan_stage2" line 25)
    invoked from within
"rescan_stage2 filebf7840 ui_ready"

I get the same error if I simply run 'git mktree' as well.
