Trying to do a fetch from origin:
git remote update
Get the error
Error: Cannot Spawn C:\Path To\TortoiseGit\Bin: No such file or directory
fatal: unable to fork
Error: Could not fetch origin
Why is this happening? Also is there a fix?
For me the answer was removing the double quotes of "c:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\plink.exe" from the environment variable GIT_SSH.
This blog would seem to be the exact same problem that you have:

And this issue on msysgit also points to the same error:

Find out what your GIT_SSH environmental variable is pointing to and if that path has a space in it. Maybe reinstalling TortoiseGit would solve it. (Otherwise I can really recommend GitExtensions instead)
