This version is essentially abandoned because the development happens on packaging the 2.x series for Windows, and using the updated runtime (MSYS2 instead of MSYS).

So please try this:

1) Fetch the latest version of the new Git for Windows available --
   currently its 2.4.6 RC5 [1].
   Supposedly you should try 64-bit version.

2) If the bug still does manifest itself, prease report it to the
   project's tracker [2].
