OS is windows 8.1 x64, git for windows is x64 too.

Works perfectly on a windows 2008.

SET PATH= doesn't solve the problem

Affects portable and msi versions

While this is really very little information to go on, I could imagine that setting TERM=cygwin might fix it. Can you confirm?

[nilleb]

good guess! that's it. TERM was equal to msys before I changed it to cygwin.

I'm closing this issue as it is a duplicate of a previous issue. Thanks a lot!

To be precise: this is a duplicate of #222
