This seems to be a long standing issue that has existed since at least 2008. 
I'm not sure why it hasn't been resolved yet.

This project is for the git installer, and not really git itself. I know that 
might be confusing. I set this project up by my own ambition because I wanted 
to provide a way for people to get Git builds on their system without having to 
install Xcode.
