git-cheetah broken in Git-1.8.3-preview20130601

[phil...@gmail.com]

Just tried upgrading to 1.8.3 and the git-cheetah plugin is broken.  None of its entries show up on the explorer menu at all, though it seems to have the dll loaded.  I had to fall back to the simple menu instead.  Cheetah works in 1.8.0, though the duplicate entry bug from installing the plugin into both the user and global registry hives I reported back in 2011 is still there.

Several options:
1. Add <git-install-dir>\cmd to your PATH or install with the "Run Git from the Windows Command Prompt" option
2. Build your own installer from the current HEAD (i.e. including [1]) or wait for the next official preview release
3. Use this installer [2] (includes a few other changes, though)
