You may need to be more specific here about how you're installing Git. The Git project itself does not ship any binary packages at all, let alone ones that have an update mechanism.

If you're using the Git for Windows installer, it looks like it does have an auto-update feature:

 https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/blob/15b05c2399f152783d1fe9f167692dd5cd8ae1e1/installer/install.iss#L114

You might get a response on this list from Git for Windows folks, but there is also a separate Git for Windows list:

  https://groups.google.com/g/git-for-windows

You may be more likely to get a response there, or opening an issue on the GitHub repo:

  https://github.com/git-for-windows/git

If you're using something else, you may have to ask the specific packager.
