Using GitBash you can use the lein script instead of the lein.bat script. Put the lein script into a directory called bin in your user account on windows. GitBash should have that bin directory on its executable PATH, so you can run lein anywhere.

With this approach you do not need any configuration in Emacs Lisp.
