qgit4 does not depends on  commandline git environment at all. You can
start qgit4 also without a git installation, also without a cygwin
installation either. Of course it's not useful in that cases.

I had no time to fix some rogh edges regarding launching qgit4 with
proper paths set. What I plan to do this week end is to find an 'easy
to use recipe' to start qgit4 from cmd.exe, from desktop icon and also
from cygwin shell.

I need to experiment a little bit with this but I would like to add
internal automatic recognizing of environment at least for cmd.exe vs
cygwin shell launching case so to let user have a nice experience in
both cases.
