How do i enable syntax highlighting and syntax indentation in mysgit vim?

Question

Am using mysgit for windows, but mysgit vi editor is unable to do syntax highlighting and indentation for my source code (html/python/css .... files)

I managed to copy the syntax folder from my original GVIM7.2 installation to Git Vim72 installation folder, now i see like syntax highlighting is active.

What am unable to do is indentation. I have tried to copy the ftplugin folder from my GVim7.2 installation to Git Vim72 folder but still no indentation.

I have tried to place filetype plugin indent on setting on the vimrc file, but still nothing is working?

Any help on how to enable syntax indentation?

You may need to check that it is correctly determining the file type. To see what filetype vim thinks you're dealing with, type :set filetype without any other parameters. Vim might not know how to indent your filetype, or you may have to download the filetype plugin and put it in the right folder (I don't know where to get that plugin).

Did you mean msysgit instead of mysgit?
