[FYI] Using git on msys2

[mattn]

As I filed issue ago, vscode can't work with msys2's git. Because git provided on msys2 return /c/ prefixed-path for rev-parse command.

#387

If you really want to use msys2's git, try following.

1. Write git-wrap.bat for git.exe

   @echo off
   setlocal
   
   rem If you don't add path for msys2 into %PATH%, enable following line.
   rem set PATH=c:\msys64\usr\bin;%PATH%
   
   if "%1" equ "rev-parse" goto rev_parse
   git %*
   goto :eof
   :rev_parse
   for /f %%1 in ('git %*') do cygpath -w %%1

   Put this git-wrap.bat into somewhere.

2. Set git.path for git-wrap.bat
   open File -> Preferences -> User Settings, And add git.path pointed git-wrap.bat on your configuration file like below.

     "git.path": "c:/users/mattn/bin/git-wrap.bat",
   

3. Restart vscode

Have fun!
