I could not get commands like git-clone to work from CMD although this is not really a handycap for the time being. On doing a clone I get the message :- warning: templates not found /usr/share/git-core/templates/ Aaron ``` ## Han-Wen Nienhuys, 2007-05-15 19:51 Subject: Re: GIT on MinGW problem Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/f329bf540705151251n10c05452s5a74e8eaa513bf90%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <033501c79710$a2eb0290$0200a8c0@AMD2500> ``` I think it might be a bug.

That commit didn't work for me because template_dir was overridden by config.mak.autogen -- Duy ``` ## Han-Wen Nienhuys, 2007-05-26 23:08 Subject: Re: GIT on MinGW problem Message-ID: <4658BDD4.6070904@xs4all.nl> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4658BDD4.6070904%40xs4all.nl In-Reply-To: ``` Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy escreveu: >> > > warning: templates not found /usr/share/git-core/templates/ >> > > >> >> This should have been fixed by 2d84ffaf (currently master~1 in >> git://repo.or.cz/git/mingw.git) and its parent.
