Can't run git portable when usual git bash is open

[CaliforniaMountainSnake]

So, launching git with other settings, when my usual git bash windows are open was my primary target of installing git portable.
Why can't I do this?

I think many of the portable applications do this (I know Portable Firefox and Notepad++ do this). This check may be present to prevent accidental contamination of user data between the local and portable versions.

@jgonyea is correct – this is a pretty standard check for PortableApps. I don't think it's necessary here, though, as Git Portable uses a separate data directory to a local installation.

I'll remove this from the launcher in an update.
