FIX: Substitutes an idiomatic positive emphasis, rather than a contradicting emphasis. This better communicates that the surrounding sentence emphasizes the preceeding, rather than mollifying it

Now, keep in mind that _MSYS2_ and Linux (The original target for _Git_'s distribution) are very different beasts. Their distributions might include packages that are built from the same source code (i.e. the `binutils`, `gcc` or `bash` package), but the runtime is very, very different: _MSYS2_'s runtime is a stripped-down, slightly modified _Cygwin_ runtime running on top of the Windows kernel, while Linux' runtime is the Linux kernel, running as a separate OS altogether.
So if you are missing some packages - feel free to start making one. This is Open Source, however, so everybody interested and capable enough can contribute whatever they need to address their needs. And that includes you: you could imitate e.g. [a simple `PKGBUILD` file](https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-assimp-git/PKGBUILD) to build a new package e.g. `msmtp`, the component that _Git for Windows_ 1.x uses to support `sendemail`. Then open a Pull Request so that _Git for Windows_ can ship it. Our documentation will be helpful in that endeavor: [package-management](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Package-management), in particular [package-management#rebuild-packages](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Package-management#rebuild-packages).

# Start documenting
If you need inspiration what you could write about: document your common work flows. Write a tutorial how to start coding _Git for Windows_, how to run the test suite. Write a tutorial how to debug a failing test. Write about something you would have wished you had known about Git for Windows a long time ago.
