The Git project doesn't ship OpenSSL, or, for that matter, any binaries at all. All we ship is source versions of Git which various distributors compile, sometimes with other binaries.

It looks like you're probably using Git for Windows, which _does_ ship OpenSSL, and so you probably want to contact them using their issue tracker[0] once you've verified that it hasn't already been reported.
