At least in my installation (I've set Git to be run in Cmd (or 
PowerShell in my case)) only the directory that contains the cmd 
wrappers (%GitInstallDir%\cmd) is in the PATH. And as that directory 
only contains that wrappers it might set up its environment on start by 
itself. Thus it should not conflict with other msys installations.
