Setting up msysGit on my Win7 box has been a bit of a pain.
Here's a step by step guide:
1. I don't quite understand what the Portable version is all about, but I went with the other one.
2. If you're not running as Administrator, then the Installer fails. So, run it as Admin. I had also installed TortoiseGit, and the Installer made me choose from
( ) Use OpenSSH
( ) Use (Tortoise)Plink
The former ultimately lead to success.
