Huh, I have syntax-highlighting working just fine in my msysGit installation... Perhaps you're referring to Git for Windows (which I do not know if we ship the syntax files with or not) instead?
However, I would be somewhat worried about trying to turn the Git for Windows distribution into a fully fledged development environment, so I don't think such a feature would get my vote. We already have msysGit for that.

It works for me, too. Looking at /share/WinGit/copy-files.sh, I see that all the relevant syntax files are copied over to Git for Windows, too. I suggest the OP might want to try again after installing the current Git for Windows from scratch.

I used the official Git Windows download from git-scm.com.
Specifically, I'm using both gVim vim and msysgit vim, and I had to do a lot of debugging to get a simple color scheme (molokai.vim) to work for Command Prompt "vim" and Git Bash "vim".
On Stack Overflow, users are reporting that copying over the syntax folder from the gVim installation directory to the Git vim installation directory fixes highlighting issues.
This fix works on my machine, so I was thinking that maybe we should include these same files by default in new Git Windows installations.

@mcandre while I appreciate the wishes of many users, keep in mind that we worked very hard to keep the installer as small as it is. Yes, it is not very small, but that is in spite of us trying to block feature creep.
So maybe the best idea would be to make it easy for users to download the syntax folder via GitHub? Maybe download a .zip of just that directory as per 'master', GitHub has such a link, I am sure. It could be done easily as a shell script, and it would even be possible to have a checkbox (unchecked by default, of course) in the installer.
@mcandre how about giving it a try?

Yes, I love minimalistic programs, and I respect BusyBox's mission.
I am confident that I could copy over the files to BusyBox's vi directory
manually and aid in scripting a downloadable feature, except that I'm not
sure on my Android phone where that would be. /system/... ? /data/... ?
