it seems possible to install GfW into an existing MSYS2: https://gitforwindows.org/install-inside-msys2-proper https://gitforwindows.org/install-inside-msys2-p

  Right, and manually extracting MSYS2 packages into an MSYS2 environment is also possible if very unsupported (used that to get a copy of rsync once). My point, rather, is that GfW isn’t and shouldn’t be your starting point if you want to get a Unix-like environment; use actual MSYS2 instead.
