This is probably a known limitation of MSYS (the shell environment that
Git Bash uses, which is part of MingW):

Drive letters added after MSYS has started only become visible if all
MSYS processes are stopped and restarted. See e.g.

How to register newly mounted drive in git bash?
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5197540/

for some more details.

It seems there is no easy workaround, so you'll need to close all Git
Bash windows and reopen them.
