I think this is a documentation problem with Git for Windows. The bitmap
code is going into v2.0, but there should be nothing (not even
documentation) in v1.9.2. I don't know how the msysgit folks build their
documentation, but I wonder if it accidentally built from current
'master' rather than v1.9.2.

You might get more information at the msysgit mailing list:
