It's no longer clear exactly how to setup self-signed certificates in this 
new version of Git:

$ git fetch origin
fatal: unable to access 'https://mygitserver/myrepo.git/': SSL certificate 
problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain

No one on my team at $DAYJOB uses SSH, they all use HTTPS. Switching 
everyone to SSH certainly won't be an option either. So prior to asking 
everyone to upgrade, I'll need to be able to provide them instruction on 
how to properly setup our cert so that HTTPS works properly.

Ideally the solution will be done in such a way that when installing newer 
versions of Git for Windows, that the keys are not overwritten. Using the 
normal Git config approach won't work either since when you get the CA cert 
path to our key, it no longer knows about the other built-in certs, so 
fetches from github.com and the like will also fail.

Maybe there is an elegant or easy solution to this. But I just haven't 
found it yet.
