  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

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?

    cheers,
