Receipe:
In explorer right-click 'Git Bash' on a git working directory.

Symptoms:
The task bar instance if Git Bash doesn't get a git icon. That makes it difficult to spot Git Bash on the task bar or cycle through applications by pressing Alt-Tab if normal Windows command lines are open, since both
can't be distinguished by icons.

On the other hand, starting Git Bash by clicking the start menu icon
adds an application with a nice git icon to the task bar, that makes it
easy to distinguished Git Bash from normal Windows command lines.

Expected behaviour:
Git Bash has always a git icon in the task bar regardless of how it was
called.

$ git version
git version 1.5.4.rc2.935.ga142f


If I remember correctly, we can't fix this because Windows' Shell Extension
support doesn't allow for setting a custom icon.  Sebastian?

If so, I'd add a know issue to the release notes.
