I'll look into that. As I mentioned, we needed a quick solution late in RC stage, and since then the issue has not been considered.

It seems to be enough to add "c:\Program > files\Git\usr\bin" to PATH. Yes, that is a good idea. I'll do that. The original reason for choosing gnuwin32 was that there were no dependencies on external libraries - they were only linked to MS DLLs. And at the time DLL Hell was still a thing. But now that we are dependant upon git anyway we might as well use the resources that are provided with it.
