First, everything that you do against git must be done using msysgit, and you
must use the git-bash executeable.

Next, if you use a proxy server, then you need to set the `https_proxy`
environment var. You can do this using the following process (using git-bash):

1. Create a ~/.bashrc file if it doesn't alredy exist.
2. Add "export https_proxy=http://some-proxy:8080" to the file.
  * Please noe that your url and port numbers will probably be different.
3. Close and re-open git-bash.
4. Set your global git config option using the following command:
  * git config --global http.sslverify false
