Github, Github for Windows, on every commit generates us.stackdump

Question

Since I started using Github for managing my projects I receive dump file on every commit.

I am using

 a) GitHub (private repositories for my personal projects)
 b) GitHub for windows GitHub client

When I sync my commits after finish (or may be during commit) it generates "us.stackdump" file.

This is the file contents:

Answer 1

This is similar to the msysgit issue (in progress) 25, with one only suggestion for now:

replace msys-1.0.dll by a new one in "documents and settings\administrator\local setting\application data\github\portablegit_xxxx..."

Try first to commit with the msysgit included in GitHub for Windows, and see if the issue persists.

Launch a session through

C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_93...\git-cmd.bat

Or through the icon "Git Shell", which launches:

C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\GitHub\GitHub.appref-ms --open-shell

Answer 2

VonC's answer didn't work for me but along the same lines:

1. Download MSYS
2. Copy the whole MSYS bin directory into the Git bin directory.
