Sorry, next time I'll have a look there, but I'm more familiar with this 
list. :-)

My SCons call doesn't actually relate to Git. I just use the Git-bash as 
my favorite shell under Windows. It's by far better than the regular 
cmd.exe. Despite I'm using Windows, I'm a "shell person" and prefer not 
to use only my index finger to direct the computer :-). Git-bash gives 
that opportunity.

I used to call SCons from Git-bash and it worked. After Git's upgrade 
(or some other unknown change) I did the same and it didn't work from 
Git-bash, but it still worked from cmd.exe. Git-bash ist not in my PATH 
when I run cmd.exe.

Don't bother, I just posed the question and hoped someone says "yeah, I 
faced the same problem and solved it like this: ...". I'll use a 
workaround and post a solution if I find one.
