Git for Windows uses MINGW indeed. But there are still CYGWIN users out in the wild running the vanilla Windows python installation. Actually this issue has a big impact on those of us because recent `setuptools` tools allow for packages to specify project dependencies using the `git+https://...` url-scheme. So the problem may appear to unaware users just trying to install a packages the regular way, with `pip install foo.package` Great thanks, Kostis FYI, cross-posting also to CYGWIN list.
