Hello, first off thanks for such a wonderful tool! I have a general question and I hope this is an appropriate spot to ask it.

Is there a way automate extraction that will repeatably generate the same files? Currently, each time I extract git portable many of the binaries change slightly. For example, if I extract twice using

    PortableGit-2.10.0-32-bit.7z.exe -y -gm2

then Beyond Compare tells me that many of the files in usr\bin have changed at offset 0x88 and 0x89. Why is that?

Warm regards, Chris
