I tried to reinstall potentially relevant parts of my cygwin, I tried to google out what else I could do, but without success. According to http://figures.oreilly.com/tagoreillycom20090514oreillybooks296915I_book_d1e1/ figs/I_mediaobject2_d1e1431-web.png from http://oreilly.com/software-engineering/excerpts/version-control-git/installing- git.html there should be four git* packages, but there's only one.

#git version git version 1.7.0.4

#git svn git: 'svn' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

#(cd /c/Programs/cygwin/lib/git-core/; ls git-s*) git-send-email* git-shortlog.exe* git-show.exe* git-stripspace.exe* git-send-pack.exe* git-show-branch.exe* git-stage.exe* git-submodule* git-sh-setup* git-show-index.exe* git-stash* git-symbolic-ref.exe* git-shell.exe* git-show-ref.exe* git-status.exe*

There are more tools missing, eg. gitk and git-gui. Any idea?

I use CygWin and I have all the git tools (git-core, git-svn, git-gui, gitk) and the version available is 1.7.2.3-1.

What version of CygWin did you install? Do you use the lastest installer? CygWin have pass to 1.7 this year. I don't known what happen if we mix the version 1.5 with 1.7.

I had no idea what I was using, so I downloaded new setup.exe from cygwin.com, selected a different mirror (just in case), and it works. It looks like my version was simply incomplete and the problem was not related to git at all. I have no clue how it came, but it seems to be a problem with cygwin or with the mirror I was using before. Actually, I should have tried it without having to ask first, but thank you.
