I had a similar problem with GitStack 1.3, see https://gitstack.com/questions/gitstack-1-3-overwrites-system-path/ You can get your path back by using System Restore to undo the GitStack installation. I work around this problem by making a copy of my path before installing GitStack. Do you perchance have a very long path ? Mine is over 1300 characters, and I think that there may be a limit to the length of environment variables under Windows.
