title: remote-https is not a git command when cloning repo
body: <p>On a Windows (version 10) machine, with the latest git client at the time of writing (<code>2.18.0.windows.1</code>), cloning repositories using HTTPS fails with error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git: 'remote-https' is not a git command.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After a bit of research it turns out that git comes with several <code>remote-&lt;command&gt;</code> utilities, with <code>remote-https</code> being one of them. The error message therefore seems to tell us that `remote-https is not installed on the machine.</p>
  
  <p>After a bit more research, it seems that similar problems for other developers were solved by installing curl. The machine we're dealing with does have curl (<code>7.46.0</code>) installed as well.</p>
  
  <p>We tried reinstalling the git client a couple of times entirely from <code>git-scm.com</code> as well as <code>gitforwindows.org</code>, both resulting in the same error.</p>
  
  <p>Any help or pointer to get this fixed is highly appreciated.</p>
