Implementation details let Git for Windows' git.exe live in /mingw64/bin (that is the pseudo-Unix path, of course, the real Windows path will be prefixed by the actual installation location). This resulted in the awkward location of the system config in C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\etc\gitconfig, and that is what Git for Windows v2.x used for a few years. A much more natural location, however, is the same path without that mingw64 infix. Therefore, the Git for Windows project switched (back) to that location for a while now. It is time to bring that change into core Git.
