Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce the Windows rake upload project=??? command in a Git-backed project and inspect where git status is invoked; done means the command no longer reports that the project is outside Git version control and proceeds as expected.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I get the following error on Windows

D:\www\drydrop\drydrop>rake upload project=???
←[33m> git status←[0m
Baking version ...
←[33m> git status←[0m
←[33m> echo $?←[0m
←[31mnot under git version control!←[0m

I had to do 'gem install rake' and 'gem install rubyzip' before I did this in case versions are a problem.
