title: Correct git.exe path for TortoiseGit under Git for windows 2.4
body: <p>I have installed the <a href="https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.4.2.windows.1/Git-2.4.2.1-release-candidate-64-bit.exe" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Git for windows 2.4.1 release candidate (64bit)</a></p>
  
  <p>It seems that after installation the following has been added to the system path</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But with that setting it seems that TortoiseGit stops working. When I try to do a git operation in TortoiseGit, it cannot find my git username anymore.</p>

  <p>I have version 1.8.14.0 of TortoiseGit, which is the <a href="https://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/wiki/Download" rel="nofollow noreferrer">latest</a>.</p>
  
  <p>The TortoiseGit <code>Git.exe Path</code> setting currently points to <code>C:\Program Files\Git\cmd</code>.</p>
  
  <p>In the TortoiseGit documentation it states</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>There is a known issue in msysGit/Git for Windows: Git for Windows
    provides two git.exe-files (one in a folder named bin and one in a
    folder named cmd). Make sure Git.exe Path points to the bin-folder
    within the Git for Windows installation folder.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>In Git 2.4 there is a folder <code>C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin</code>, but that no longer contains the git.exe binary.</p>
  
  <p>The <code>git.exe</code> binary is found in both <code>C:\Program Files\Git\cmd</code> and <code>C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin</code> but neither of those settings work for TortoiseGit.</p>
