* Special permissions (and Windows Vista or later) are required when cloning repositories with symbolic links, therefore support for symbolic links is disabled by default. Use `git clone -c core.symlinks=true <URL>` to enable it, see details [here](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Symbolic-Links).

* If configured to use Plink, you will have to connect with [putty](http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) first and accept the host key.

* Some console programs interact correctly with MinTTY only when called through `winpty` (e.g. the Python console needs to be started as `winpty python` instead of just `python`).
1314
* [cURL](http://curl.haxx.se) uses `$HOME/_netrc` instead of `$HOME/.netrc`.
