Update fails on Windows

[martynhoyer]

I'd imagine this is probably a Windows thing, it usually is!

Looks like it might not actually be directly related to this repo, but I thought I'd better raise it!

I had the same problem. However installing through cmd helped. Try running apm install react in your Commandline Prompt.

I just ran into this, command line also had the issue. I was running git 2.8.2 on windows, an update to 2.9.2 resolved this issue for me.
