Which download, which instructions to update? Just the basic Julia for Windows installer exe? You didn't have any previous version of Julia installed? Do you have some other version of git on your path perhaps?
If these are permissions changes, it might be that git checkout -- foo doesn't have any effect since git on windows is an odd mix of posix-imitation and sort-of native executables. Try opening git bash and running chmod on the files that "git diff" says have changed, to put the permissions back the way git says they used to be to make "git diff" stop reporting any changes.
