The msysGit installation gives a choice to include the git executables in the path or not. I'm not sure what the current state of that is but they used to recommend _not_ installing it for cmd.exe so we can't assume that it's available. I can probably find the msysgit shell if it's available and run that instead. -Bernt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
