running git from eshell on windows

[fork]

I am currently doinking with eshell, and would like to run git from it on
windows (yeah, yeah ... it isn't my choice ...).

However, here is the result of my attempt:

 addpath c:/Program\ Files/Git/bin/
 which git 
which: no git in (C:\GetGnuWin32\gnuwin32\bin; ...)

Any ideas? I assume this works fine on a real operating system. 

Also -- aliasing doesn't work: "> git" works ok, but "> git status" (and
similar) seems to be aliased plain old "git", which obviously doesn't work...

Tx
