Meanwhile all was working fine 3-4 days ago. I installed composer, xampp and Postgres during this time and English MUI for Visual Studio 2012. Reinstalling don't help.

You can try with a more recent git bash and sh.exe from the new Git for Windows PortableGit-2.4.4.2-3rd-release-candidate-64-bit.7z.exe (released 4 hours ago)

Simply uncompress it anywhere you want, and add c:\path\to\PortableGit-2.4.4.2-3rd-release-candidate-64-bit\cmd to the %PATH%.

Also, launch Git bash (c:\path\to\PortableGit-2.4.4.2-3rd-release-candidate-64-bit\git-bash.exe), and see if the issue persists.

I explain why that 64-bits version of the new Git for Windows came to be in "Why is it that if you download Git 2.0 from the net, you always get a 1.9.4 installer package?".
