### Please describe the problem.
The windows build seems to be hardcoded to finding git at c:\program files\Git\
I have git in another directory. Git-annex does not find it.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
Install git-annex. Run the webapp.
Get error "Internal Server Error
You need to install git in order to use git-annex!"
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
5.20140817-g71c2250.
Windows XP.
### Please provide any additional information below.
[[!format sh """
# If you can, paste a complete transcript of the problem occurring here.
# If the problem is with the git-annex assistant, paste in .git/annex/daemon.log
# End of transcript or log.
