MSYS2 git looks broken

[esaulenka]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: No

• VS Code Version: 1.93.1
• OS Version: Win10 home

As I found, actual version of node-js cannot run .bat scripts by default: https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/april-2024-security-releases-2
That means that this receipt #4651 now is not working.

Steps to Reproduce:

follow the original post, or if you don't have MSYS, just do the following:

1. Create a git-wrap.bat with a single line C:\path-to-git\git.exe %*
2. set "git.path": "C:/bla-bla/git-wrap.bat", in the settings.json
3. reload vscode and check Output -> Git

Thanks for filing this issue. VS Code does not officially support MSYS2 git as we have not done any work to enable that. I just learned about the workaround that you have linked but that is also not something that is coming from the core VS Code team. If that stopped working I would suggest that you either reach out to the person who suggested it, or reach out to the node community to see if there is a way to re-enable the execution of .bat scripts.
