You probably don't need msysGit - this is the full Git development package 
for Windows including the source code and the full development environment. 
If you only want to -use- Git you should download just the Git package for 
Windows, previously called WinGit.  I use it; it works perfectly under XP 
and Vista.

That would be me, although 'confess' is hardly the word.  That implies I was 
under some duress to admit it - I wasn't.  Windows, whether XP, NT or Vista, 
isn't perfect, but for me it is the best system to satisfy my current needs. 
I know, because I've tried most of the others (except, and this I must 
confess, a Mac system; maybe one day ... :)
