I suspected the culprit was me not being a member of the group, where 
the group requires it for (initial?) posting (but you already noticed 
that other e-mail about it there[2], this is more a follow-up for 
anyone here, still wondering).

I myself am aware of the tracker, just that I didn`t really 
anticipate this as a Git for Windows bug, seeing various mentions 
around the net pointing to Inno Setup (being in use here as well).

That said, I see the logic in thinking the other way around, too, and 
possibly addressing it somehow inside Git for Windows, in spite of 
what happens on Inno Setup side. At least working around it a bit 
better, if possible.

I can remember to keep an eye on the tracker more often, just in 
case, as that would have clearly helped here. Thanks for the heads-up.

Regards, Buga
