The first rule a Windows user should be taught is "do NOT use cygwin".
I did manage to run git on cygwin, but it's a hell of a no-go. Cygwin
is completely deprecated, whereas MinGW seems to somehow keep up.

The msysGit is a really nice Windows app, with a GUI, an installer,
and above all a real, native, working git system. Plus it installs
everything you need to use bash commands, diff tools etc.

OK, will do. IMO it should be a lowercase tag, just as in "workaround" etc.

I liked the idea of a "preparing parts" tag, though; not for doc
integration obviously, but just for a nice list of potentially useful
items.
