I just tried with git 1.8.3 on Windows and it worked. I then upgraded to git 
1.9.2 and got the same error as you did.

Removing the double quotes from the relevant line in regression.py works for 
me with both git 1.8.3 and 1.9.2 on Windows and git 1.9.2 on QNX. The line 
then reads as follows:
self.git_command( 'submodule foreach', 'git reset --quiet --hard; git 
clean -fxd')

I've attached a patch.

Add --skip-script-download to the run.py command line to try with a patched 
regression.py.
