Bug ID: 39634
           Summary: Git Installer fails
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.55
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

stdout and Program Error Details
Installing Git for Windows works with wine version 1.5.22 and lower. But
beginning with wine version 1.5.23 an error window pops up (see attachement):
WINEPREFIX=/tmp/1.7.55/ ~/wine/bin/wine ~/Downloads/Git-2.6.3-32-bit.exe
I just clicked next all the time until the installation starts. The
installation still finishes eventually.
Trying to run the installed Git bash still works with version 1.5.23. But
running the Git bash fails in version 1.5.31 to version 1.7.55. I'm not sure
about 1.5.24 to 1.5.30.
WINEPREFIX=/tmp/1.7.55/ ~/wine/bin/wine wineconsole
/tmp/1.7.55/drive_c/Program\ Files/Git/bin/bash.exe --login -i
results in a bash window popping up, but reporting after a while:
bash: fork: retry: No child processes
My hunch is that the setup runs a program called rebase.exe and that it fails
with wine version 1.5.23 and higher. The un-rebased executable still works with
older wine versions, but not with newer ones. There is one issue reported to
the Git for Windows project: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/150
Thank you for the software that makes me independent of Windows. :-)
