Hey guys I tried to install magit in a new system via el-get and I kept getting an error. that magit can't find magit.info. Following hints from this: dimitri#2574 I removed Documentation from `:info` to `nil` and it now works. I am not sure if this is an error in the recipe or something I do not understand about how it should work, but I am opening a PR to gather some feedback
Using emacs 25.3 on Windows 7 with msys64 I encounter this error when trying install magit:
Error (el-get): while installing magit: el-get: c:/msys64/usr/bin/install-info.exe el-get could not build magit [c:/msys64/usr/bin/install-info.exe c:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming.emacs.d\el-get\magit\Documentation\magit.info dir]
I can, however, install magit from the usual packages list via list-packages command.
