msysgit

I installed msysgit on other Windows machines with no problems. On this Vista 64 bit Ultimate box, I installed the 3 most recent versions of msysgit. On all three installs, when I do a "git bash here", I get exactly this on the command window: sh.exe": fork: Permission denied sh.exe"-3.1$ The git command doesn't work. I get the same permission denied message. Any clues as to how to fix this? Update Also, when I do "git gui here" - I get: Cannot determine Git version. couldn't execute "C\...\git-core\git.exe Git Gui requires Git 1.5.0 or later I'm using a version newer than 1.5.0. VonC The

I would like to automate git bisect (instructions also available at official Linux Kernel Git documenation for git bisect ) for building a .NET project with MSBuild , and run unit tests for it with nunit-console.exe . However, these tools were built for use in a Windows development environment, and I'm having various issues with getting them to work in the Bash environment of msysgit, summarized as follows: Bash can't seem to find MSBuild.exe nor nunit-console.exe (path issue). Both MSBuild.exe and nunit-console.exe use Windows style commandline option flags, i.e. they begin with a foward

3rd Update More information: commands in the git-bash shell work as expected in the git-bash shell, Git\bin\git.exe is called Git\bin is where sh.exe lives in PowerShel (or cmd, or tcc), Git\cmd\git.exe is called even after adding Git\bin to the PATH (after Git\cmd), the scripts don't work Very frustrating... 2nd Update It appears all the git commands implemented by .exe files work: git-fetch.exe, git-merge.exe, git-push.exe, etc. It appears all the commands implemented as scripts to not work: Git\libexec\git-core\git-pull Git\libexec\git-core\git-rebase etc. So, whatever git.exe is calling to

I have found articles regarding how to install Git on a Windows server and use SSH (such as CopSSH) for authentication. I am a little surprised by this as I remember reading that one should not use a Windows machine for a shared Git repository (sorry don't remember where I read that). My question is can I setup Git to use Windows Authentication rather than SSH? This would be considerably easier for me to administer. Since the machine would be administered by me in my "spare time", easier is better. You can simply use a shared folder as git repository inside your domain and administer it with

I'm trying to run git for my local repository and use SVN for my central repository to a CodePlex project. I downloaded the most recent version of msysgit , but the SVN support doesn't appear to be working. The following successfully initializes a new empty repository and then gets stuck: git svn init https://myproject.svn.codeplex.com git svn fetch After attempting to perform the fetch, I get the following: Error validating server certificate for 'https://myproject.svn.codeplex.com:443' : - The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the fingerprint to validate the certificate

I'm trying to run the following from my bash script. (bash installed via msysgit) taskkill /IM ssh-agent.exe The output I get on the screen from taskkill is: ERROR: Invalid argument/option - 'C:/Program Files/Git/IM'. Type "TASKKILL /?" for usage. The executible is running, but the /IM is being expanded regardless of what I try to do to escape it... I've tried using \/IM but then it sends \/IM without escaping the slash, I've tried a few different ways of running it through eval, cmd /c start, etc... but they all seem to have issues. I've also tried set -o noglob , which also didn't work.
