TortoiseGit requires a git.exe in any case, because not all functonality is provided by libgit2 or implemented.

If you want to use the experimental libgit2 functions, you have to adjust a DWORD value in registry (HKCU\Software\TortoiseGit\UseLibgit2_mask). Setting it do DWORD_MAX (0xffffff) it will enable all implemented libgit2 functions in TortoiseGit.
