Comment (by sbl):

 Thanks for the ultra-fast reply.

 git is used for various interactions with the AddOn-repository. Currently,
 it is not used for compilation of AddOns, but could be used for Python
 AddOns in that respect in future. So, yes, git would be enough...

 There may be three possible solutions though:
 1) add git to OSGeo4W (as suggested here)
 2) add git to the GRASS package(s) (like the other msys dependencies you
 mentioned)
 3) remove the git dependency on MS Windows again and rather use web
 requests (either to GitHub API as previous or to the server with pre-
 compiled addons)

 I understand if you are reluctant to adding git to OSGeo4W. In that case,
 I think we could solve the issue with options 2 or 3...
