"you do not have git installed" on Windows when git not in predefined location

[mcalmus]

rhc is looking for git.exe in only a handful of locations ("Program Files", "Program Files (x86)", "Progra~1" and drive root) of mapped drives. If git is installed in some other location, even when that location is on the PATH, rhc gives the error "You do not have git installed". In addition to checking these predefined locations rhc should check the directories in the PATH environment variable.

Inserting the following into helpers.rb worked for me:

begin
  ENV['PATH'].split(";").each do |item|
    base_path << item
  end
end
