Yes, it does.

Do we test if git is installed if we are on a non-Windows system or
show whatever error shell returns in case git is not installed?
I tried calling cygwin git from CMD shell and it seems to work okay.
So I am guessing we need to figure out how to correctly pass git
command from Emacs to Windows shell. I will try to find examples from
Org's PDF processing code.

Sure. I will share some information/examples if I can find anything
to make it work.
