That is the *least* problem you have with that version: you are vulnerable to several security issues.

Sadly, there were literally zero contributions from community members using Windows XP to uphold XP support, so the latest Git for Windows you can use (unless you build it yourself, fixing several compile issues by now) is v2.10.

See https://gitforwindows.org/requirements.html for details.

Ciao, Johannes
