These items concern the Windows Desktop update check, where a bootstrap-installed git (under %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\tools) may not be found by resolveGitBinary() and the error is labeled as an unreachable update server. One member proposes naming the failure more accurately, and another refers to update checks on installs without Git for Windows.
