Error on Windows

I am getting the following error(s) when trying to upload git repository using 'python.exe git-ftp.py test' under Windows 7:

As it seems it can successfully find gitpython and ftpdata, but something goes wrong later in execution...

I found the problem but im not into python programming. Problem is that windows not recognize "git.cmd" this is becouse it's invoked as "git", one solution is to open subprocess.py and locate _execute_child method and add these lines in the first line of the method

if( args and args[0] == "git" ):
args[0] = args[0] + ".cmd"

Someone good in python can come up with real fix of the problem

Just set the GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE environment variable to yout git.cmd path, eg. c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.cmd. No need to modify subprocess.py. When this env variable is not set it falls back to 'git' on the system path.
