Git-diff revert chunk not working on Windows if patch.exe is not in the path

      When trying to revert a chunk in the Git file diff view, it fails with following error:

      23:04 Executing in C:\dev\qt-creator: patch -p0 -R
Unable to launch 'patch': Process failed to start: No such file or directory

      The msysgit installation on Windows contains patch.exe, and I did set the path "c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin" in the Git options. Couldn't we assume tha this is a standard situation on Windows and search for patch.exe in that path as-well?
