Mercurial error with subrepos on windows

I have critial problem with Mercurial configured with subrepos. When I try to commit or make update I get following error:

hg commit -m "commit" --traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mercurial\dispatch.pyc", line 87, in _runcatch

File "subprocess.pyc", line 833, in _execute_child
WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
abort: The system cannot find the file specified

My .hgsub:

webdriver/vendor/webdriver = [svn]http://php-webdriver-bindings.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/trunk/phpwebdriver/
app/vendor/bundles/Knp/Bundle/ZendCacheBundle = [git]http://github.com/knplabs/KnpZendCacheBundle.git
app/vendor/Zend/Cache = [git]http://github.com/knplabs/zend-cache.git
app/vendor/Zend/Filter = [git]http://github.com/knplabs/zend-filter.git

I use Windows XP and Mercurial 1.9.2. I have svn and git added to PATH and it works good. When I try to update my subrepos manually there is no problem, svn up and git pull works good.

If the Git for Windows (mysysgit) directory in your path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd, try changing it to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin

This will enable git to work with Mercurial.

To debug your path problem, you can use the following file

# qnddebug.py
import os
import sys
import subprocess

print os.environ['PATH']
print subprocess.call(['git', '--version'])
sys.exit(23)

and run it with hg --config extensions.foo=qnddebug.py. Then you see in the first line which path mercurial uses to find programs. The last line is error-code of the git call, and must be 0. Maybe there is the output of git --version in the line before the exit status, but this is a platform-specific detail.
