Is there a popular convention for using something like this or cygwin, in that it has its own $HOME, and I have a buncha dotfiles in my Windows user home?

Possibly just symlinking it all over to MSYS $HOME?

I am definitely happy about being able to install tmux.

edit: just seems like I should ditch what I was doing in windows home, because git bash used the same home and I had everything there. ssh stuff, git config, inputrc, .vim, etc. But if I'm no longer using git bash, no need.

edit: sadly git runs very oddly in this. not sure what git bash is doing differently, but I'm comparing .64 seconds for a git status, versus over a minute with MSY2. weird.

Yikes! I work on a fairly compact codebase, so I've never waited more than a minute for anything except sometimes when fetching. (For that I blame the network, but I could be wrong.) Other operations seem snappy, and tig is pretty responsive. That being said, I haven't benchmarked against git for windows, so I could be wrong about that. Sorry to hear it's so laggy for you!
