I'm probably going to regret doing this. I only came upon this because I ran into the same issue with msysgit, but hopefully someone will read this and benefit.

@fatjyc - I can only speak for myself and not @dscho. However, I hope you realize one day that your posts made you look incredibly rude and ungrateful for the hours of thankless work people have volunteered in this project. Your tone was especially offensive considering that git is not officially supported on Windows by the authors of git and it presents unique issues not found on other operating systems, such as this.

First, you initially provide only one line console output which did not help solve the issue. Second, after someone asked for more information, you only provide the command you typed in and then put "BUG" and "THX." Writing words with all capital letters is probably the worst thing you can do on the Internet because it is equivalent to yelling at someone. Third, you accused someone of misinterpretation.

At no point, did you provide anything useful towards a solution. When you were asked to help further, you did not do so and only restated your problem. If you didn't know how to be more helpful, you could have asked how to be more helpful. Even if you said "I tried ssh and that worked for me," that would have been infinitely more helpful than what you wrote. You gave an impression of entitlement.

I want to stress again that people do this for free, and it's discouraging when it is not appreciated. You may not have felt this way, but I see no other way to interpret your posts.
