On Windows, that error now adds that the folder must contain `git.exe` itself, because `git.cmd` and `git.bat` wrapper files are skipped.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf your Windows setup only exposes git through a `git.cmd` or `git.bat` wrapper, the message now tells you that is the reason git was not found, and that you need the folder holding `git.exe` on PATH.\n\n- Area: Windows\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
