In the long run a fix is better. While I was looking for a solution in the
community forum, it appeared that there has been an issue with windows
installations for some time.
Random thought: there's possibly an un-escaped file path somewhere in the
EGit and/or JGit installation mechanism. The default location to install
programs on windows is under the "C:\Program Files" hierarchy.
