I had to make manual changes to two files to download older versions using Scoop:

This was intentional. I permanently removed git from the distro, so there was no reason to keep separate "plain" and "without git" files.
Right, but why did you also change the path effectively breaking installation of old versions using package managers like Scoop?
I don't want to support people using old versions of my distro (old tools are bad and should feel bad). I keep the previous version available as an emergency escape hatch if I mess something up badly.
Is there an issue with git ? i didn't find closed issue about git removal/build failure.
Nothing’s wrong with git - I just use its installer now, instead of extracting its portable zip into the distro.
