err compiling git on msys should be just

./configure
make
make install

you may or may not have to call configure with --prefix=/usr to get a usable result... but I don't think git has much in the way of dependencies... unless you want things like gitk or git-svn

('course I am assuming you already have MSYS installed...)

Oh yea if you do what I said you don't need an installer, just fire up your MSYS shell and use git from there

But then I'm using git in msys, not the nicely-packaged msysgit. And I would need to have a 64-bit
msys environment installed on the developer's systems. Does that even exist?
