Description

**Mood:** 😔
**Category:** Bugs

Experimental settings have an option to use bundled git rather than system git. I ticked it, but it does not work, any checkout still errors out saying git is not installed.

Research direction

Reproduce the checkout failure on Windows 10 with the experimental bundled-Git option enabled, then trace the checkout entry point and the setting that selects bundled versus system Git. Done means checkouts use the bundled Git successfully instead of reporting that Git is not installed.
