MinGW port of git downloadable from anywhere?

Hi,

Just wondering if there is a canonical place to download the MinGW port of git for non-git users... ideally precompiled, since a lot of Windows users probably won't have MinGW installed? Or is the port too fragile for that, still?

There is no such place, yet. Some work is still that makes the toolset relocatable (i.e. independent of the prefix) - currently, the installation location is compiled into the binaries, which is a big no-no on Windows.

But I can't say that the port is fragile; I use it daily in a production environment.
