Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but for me the answer is yes. ;-) I build git (from the git.kernel.org repository) on Linux, cygwin, cygwin+msvc and msysGit. (For a short while I also built it on FreeBSD hosted in a VM - but that was so slow, I soon stopped doing that!). So, the git I *use* on MinGW/msysGit is built from junio's repository. I only installed msysGit to enable me to check that my patches worked on MinGW (I was tired of always saying "could somebody test this on MinGW ..."). As you may have noticed, the mingw and msvc builds share quite a bit of compatibility code... [I don't follow 4msysgit or subscribe to the msysgit mailing list, so I would not normally see any 4msysgit patches, unless they were also discussed on the git mailing list.] ATB, Ramsay Jones
