Well, some say that you can, but I'm not sure (especially since you're
using Cygwin in Windows EOL mode, which is opposite of MSys).
The way I use it is either from the MSys shell, or directly from CMD
shell. (If you have PATH=c:\msysgit\bin;C:\msysgit\mingw\bin;%PATH% it
works quite well like that.)
Actually, I use CMD most of the time..
