Bash mingw change behavior of readline overnight

Question

Yesterday everything was working fine, but today things got crazy. Git no longer produces colors, the delete character produces ~ as well as the endline, begin, end, etc. And finally, when a line if full, instead to go to the next line it just continues showing a < at the beginning.

I assume there where some sudden changes in the readline package, but the only I can think of was an installation of strawberry perl yesterday. I have no idea how to work with realine, please help!

Answer 1

So, after much searching and also finding an error in less (which prompted a message with: terminal not fully funcional). I solved the problem using the solution given here adding in my bashrc the following line:

export TERM=msys
