I just hit this issue. The tar included in a just-updated git-for-windows
fails with "tar: Cannot connect to c: resolve failed".
Git appears to install itself in front of c:\windows\system32 in PATH (which
contains the system tar). Which I think means that after edc2332550 this will
have to be manually addressed by most people running tests on windows
manually? That doesn't seem great :(
