The Git project does not ship any binary, not even Git binary, let alone Vim binary. We work on and ship only the source code of Git.

If you are getting your vim as part of the windows port of Git, please redirect your inquiry to the Git for Windows project; you can probably reach out to them at their issue tracker at

    https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues.

Please be sure to search first before asking, since the maintainer of the project is busy.

Thanks.
