Hi Peter,

There has been a regression in Git for Windows 2.6.3 (please *always*
state the version when reporting bugs) that requires you to run this
installer as administrator manually, else it will install into AppData by
default.
The other problems seem to be consequences.
The regression has been fixed and the next Git for Windows version will
install into Program Files again (if your account is equipped with the
appropriate permissions to elevate the installer enough).
Ciao,
Johannes
