You've mentioned some fairly untypical usage, so it's not surprising you  
ran into so many problems. Why would you want to use the interactive bash  
shell?

I found that all git commands work fine from CMD. The only reason to use  
bash that I can think of is to allow copy-pasting commands with parameters  
quoted/escaped in a way incompatible to CMD. I'm not sure how vim fits the  
toolchain at all, I think it's just provided as a bonus in msysgit. If you  
need a proper *nix-like environment on Windows, have you looked at Cygwin?  
For a long while, Cygwin was the only supported way to run git on Windows.
