6. Uninstall Git, install again but set installation path to C:\work\Git (notice no spaces)

7. TortoiseGit / Settings / General: Git.exe Path: C:\work\Git\bin

8. Click "Check now" -> git version 1.7.4.msysgit.0

9. Press OK, TortoiseGit / About -> "Version Information" contains:
   TortoiseGit 1.6.5.0

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.
It seems that TortoiseGit has problems with spaces in path to git.
