I installed git on my system using official package from git-scm.com
but I can't launch it, I am always getting this error:
C:\Users\petr.bena>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i
0 [main] us 0 init_cheap: VirtualAlloc pointer is null, Win32 error 487
AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x68570000, RegionSize 0x40000, State 0x10000
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for
cygwin's heap, Win32 error 0
At some point this could be an issue with cygwin, but I am not sure.
Did anyone had similar issue?

[CC'ing msysgit] Do you have cygwin installed, or why do you mention cygwin?

I didn't install it by hand, I think it was part of git installation package.

Does [1] help? I wonder, why the error message mentions Cygwin though. One reason might be is that MinGW is originally a fork of some very early Cygwin release so may be some error message is lingering there, unmodified. 1. http://stackoverflow.com/a/24406417/720999 -- -- *** Please reply-to-all at all times *** *** (do not pretend to know who is subscribed and who is not) *** *** Please avoid top-posting. *** The msysGit Wiki is here: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki - Github accounts are free.
