Exactly what is this version of git and where did it come from?
Is it conceivable that it's someone trying to *not* be a 3PP by integrating
with the existing Cygwin installation, and for some misguided reason it
modifies your sshd config?
Looking at the cygcheck diffs suggests two things:
--- cygcheck cmptr B.out 2009-03-26 16:41:59.000000000 +0000
+++ cygcheck cmptr B no git.out 2009-03-26 16:41:56.312500000 +0000

1. Perhaps a full list of all the files in Git\cmd might be instructive.
-Path = 'C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program

2. What happens if Git is installed, but not in the PATH?
