title: Git bash console on windows does not start
body: <p>While trying to start a git bash window on any folder in my windows 7 machine, the git bash window closes right away.</p>
  
  <p>I do this by clicking on the "Git Bash" option in the context menu.</p>

  <p>When I try to start the Git Bash the console window starts temporarily for a few seconds and exits with a 
  'logout' message.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to go to the Git installed location and run the "Git Bash.lnk" which exits with this message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>D:\DevProgs\Installed\Git-1.7.11\Git&gt;"Git Bash.lnk"
  Welcome to Git (version 1.7.11-preview20120710)
  
  
  Run 'git help git' to display the help index.
  Run 'git help &lt;command&gt;' to display help for specific commands.

  $ logout
  
  D:\DevProgs\Installed\Git-1.7.11\Git&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there something I am doing wrong? I had been able to use Git Bash without any issues on any folder so far.</p>

  Windows 7 64 bit professional edition.
