Installing git on Windows: Git Bash Here or git-cheetah shell extension?
GitInstallationGit Problem Overview
I'm installing Git on Windows XP. During the setup, the installer asks whether I want:
> 1: Context menu entries: "Git Bash Here" (and the "Git GUI Here" option)
or
> 2: "git-cheetah shell extension (32-bit only)"
Basically, which should I do? I can't do both.
More specifically, what is the most commonly used version? Is the Git Bash tool the same as the shell extension?

and such.
