### Please describe the problem. The windows build seems to be hardcoded to finding git at c:\program files\Git\ I have git in another directory. Git-annex does not find it. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? Install git-annex. Run the webapp. Get error "Internal Server Error You need to install git in order to use git-annex!" ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? 5.20140817-g71c2250. Windows XP. ### Please provide any additional information below.
