I'm not sure if I understand. MSysGIT sounds like it would be
something from msys (ie. mingw). Why would you want to run a mingw git
from cygwin that has its own git?

cygwin has different path conventions that mingw or win32. I'd suggest
to run rxvt & bash.

It also seems slightly less than 100% optimal that you installed the
cygwin stuff to c:. IIRC the installer suggests c:\cygwin.
