I'm not subscribed to the list, so I'm sorry I'm not continuing the existing thread. I've been hacking on git using a regular MSys install but tried the new "all in one" installer. It compiles fine but hangs indefinitely on make install. When GIT-VERSION-GEN runs, it tries to run 'git diff-index --name-only HEAD' with no .git directory and that seems to not return. Doing the same operation (git diff-index with no .git directory) errors and exits correctly in cygwin. Should there be a check for .git or is the mingw branch missing something from the main git branch?

Please cc me.

Yeah, sorry.  I just realised that.  Please hang on.
