{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}If you want to specify a different location for --upload-pack, you have to start the absolute path with two slashes. Otherwise MSys will mangle the path.\par

{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}As merge tools are executed using the MSys bash, options starting with "/" need to be handled specially: MSys would interpret that as a POSIX path, so you need to double the slash (Issue 226). Example: instead of "/base", say "//base". Also, extra care has to be paid to pass Windows programs Windows paths, as they have no clue about MSys style POSIX paths -- You can use something like $(cmd //c echo "$POSIXPATH").\par

{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}Unless you define the environment variable MSYS_WATCH_FSTAB (the value must be a non-empty string), Git Bash will not see any drives that have been attached after bash was started. This is a workaround to help the speed of cmd scripts using parts of Git that are implemented as shell scripts.\line\line\pard\li144 Should you encounter other problems, please search the mailing list first (\cf0{\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit"}}{\fldrslt{\ul\cf2 http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit}}}\cf1\f0\fs20 ) and ask there if you do not find anything.\par
