Does the current version of msysgit support process substitution?

Under my version of msysgit, I can't use process substitution.

cat <(echo 'foo')
sh.exe": cannot make pipe for process substitution: Function not implemented

If I upgraded to the latest version of msysgit, would its version of msys / mingw be able to handle process substitution?

My current version of msysgit is 1.7.0.2.msysgit.0 and GNU bash is version 3.1.0(3)-release (i686-pc-msys).

Solution

  • Afraid this is still a no as of 1.7.6.msysgit.0 which has Bash 3.1.0(1).

    bash-3.1$ bash --version
bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.1.0(1)-release (i686-pc-msys)
