The question is long long time ago..But I'm posting this answer since I have faced the same issue and was able to resolve the issue.
After installing GIT, simply set the PATH* in your environment variables. This link will help you. Open new Command prompt and retry.

Possible Suggestion/Solution #2
I know it's been awhile since you posted the question, but I ran into the exact problem you encountered today: I'm trying to install the Salesforce Mobile SDK kit for Android on Windows 7. The guide
([http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Developing_Hybrid_Apps_with_the_Salesforce_Mobile_SDK])1
says to:
Clone the SalesforceMobileSDK-Android project from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-Android.git
And you have to do this in Powershell (not cmd).
Then it says:
Windows ------- Run the install script from the Windows command line:
cd SalesforceMobileSDK-Android cscript install.vbs
So I go to cmd, fumble around for a bit finding my GitHub\SalesforceMobileSDK-Android directory. When I try to cscript install.vbs, it says:
There was an error getting the status of the git repository: '' Make sure the 'git' executable is on your PATH variable.
So I go to change my PATH variable, but I can't find anything like *--something--*\Git\bin to point to. Then I realized, it's trying to use the git executable.
The solution is to do everything in Powershell. That is, in Powershell:
Go to your directory and
cscript install.vbs
and volia!
