I mean that when you get to the msysgit downloads page, you pick the 
"Git-1.7.4-preview20110204.exe" (current version). As that makes for the 
minimal install. The others will install even more stuff that is not 
needed for just *using* Git. I was confused because the instructions 
from the TurtoiseGit site where not clear. And neither where the ones 
from msysgit.
