Disclaimer: I touch Windows once a day to check a mail account and possibly surf the web - other than that, I'm pretty much at sea in it (and I've never used emacs on Windows, let alone install git on it.) Please excuse the elementary questions. How does shell-command work under Windows? What shell is it using? Is cygwin a prerequisite for it? Is cygwin a prerequisite for git?
