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.
