#93 Git cmd wrapper should be provided for IDE integration

[rubenvb]

MSYS2 git is unusable for programs such as Qt Creator.

Normal msysgit has the option to select "add git to Windows command prompt", which adds a git wrapper application to the system PATH, which allows Qt Creator to call all its git commands.
The application source is here: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/tree/master/src/git-wrapper

It would be great to provide this as an addon or as part of the normal "git" package, so that one can point a native Windows IDE to that command to integrate git into the workflow.

Msysgit have mingw version of git not msys git. Maybe we add this wrapper when our mingw-git will be ready

I tested git integration with Qt Creator and everything seems to work ok.

In Tools->Options->Version Control->Git->Configuration->Prepend to PATH add C:\msys64\usr\bin

What doesn't work for you Ruben?

Wow, this is embarassing; I had problems a couple months ago, assumed nothing changed, and now everything works fine and dandy.

Please send this ticket back to the stone age where it belongs ;-).
