atom editor git.exe flagged as generic malware

[WolfHawke]

The atom editor version of git.exe is being flagged as Generic.Malware as of today. There was no update to my atom recently, so I'm assuming something changed in the heuristics. Here is the information Malwarebytes provides regarding the marking of this file.

This should be fixed. I was able to get the file from another source.

Let me know if still have issues.

Thanks!
