Hi! I used to use Cygwin/git to manage my libtool repo, and bootstrap it with Cygwin. I would then build the bootstrapped libtool tree from MSYS when I needed to do changes there, or check for regressions from the Cygwin side.
This appears to no longer be possible, if I run "make check" from MSYS, it complains with: $ make check GEN public-submodule-commit /bin/sh: line 2: git: command not found maint.mk: found non-public submodule commit make: *** [public-submodule-commit] Error 1 make: Target `check' not remade because of errors. Alas, git is not available for MSYS. (And before you ask, msysgit is *not* a real MSYS git, it is a MinGW git bundled with a forked MSYS environment, i.e. a different animal altogether with an unfortunate name) If the only way around this is to "make dist" and untar the whole thing in MSYS and work w/o backing of Cygwin/git while "in" MSYS, I must say that it's a *major* fail for me, and it would be extremely unpleasant to work with that. Can anything be done to make things work in a git checkout without having git available after bootstrap? Please?
