Visual Studio 2013 and Git 2.4

I have installed the Git for windows 2.4.1 release candidate (64bit)

After this installation, in Visual Studio 2013 (Update 4), the Git integration seems unable to find the git.exe. At least, that is my guess when it shows the following, since I already have Git installed, but in a new folder (C:\Program Files\Git\cmd):

Install 3rd-party Git command prompt tools

Is there any way I can make Visual Studio recognize the new location of git.exe?

Or can I completely disregard this warning? The git integration in Visual Studio seems to work anyway.

You can safely ignore this issue. Git for Windows 2.x changed the registry key locations that Visual Studio uses to try to locate it.

However this message is simply informational; Visual Studio does not require Git for Windows to manage your repositories.

Upgrading to Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 (or better) will resolve this issue.

I had the same issue and I tried 2 things that seemed to have solved the issue. I'm not sure which of the two really solved the issue

1) I checked my paths and made sure git was only in C:\Program Files\Git and removed the C:\Program Files (x86)\Git from the path through the environment variables

2) I then did a repair on visual studio through Control Panel / Add Remove

The problem went away
