You are absolutely correct. There was a change in MSYS2 that I missed: by
default, it re-sets the PATH to be minimal now. This is obviously not what
we want.

I worked around this in the usual way [*1*].

Thank you so much for testing. It would have been really awful if Git for
Windows v2.11.0 would have shipped with this bug.

Unfortunately I have to re-build and re-package the installers I promised
to upload today; Hopefully I will get around to upload the fixed ones
soon.

Will keep you posted,
Dscho
