title: Git under windows: MSYS or Cygwin?
body: <p>I plan to migrate my projects over to git, and I'm currently wondering which is the best and / or most stable option under windows.</p>
  
  <p>From what I gather I basically have 2.5 options:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><a href="http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/" rel="noreferrer">MSYSgit</a></li>
  <li>git under <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/" rel="noreferrer">Cygwin</a></li>
  <li>(aka 2.5) MSYSgit from a Cygwin prompt (given that Cygwin git is already installed).</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Note: IMO Cygwin in itself is a big plus as you can have access to pretty much all the *nix command line tools, as where with MSYSgit bash, you only have access to a rather small subset of these tools.</p>
  
  <p>Given that, what option would you suggest?</p>
