### Please describe the problem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The windows build seems to be hardcoded to finding git at c:\program files\Git\
|
|
|
|
|
I have git in another directory. Git-annex does not find it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install git-annex. Run the webapp.
|
|
|
|
|
Get error "Internal Server Error
|
|
|
|
|
You need to install git in order to use git-annex!"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
