I would report this on the Cygwin list, not here. Any use of dos file 
paths using a Cygwin tool is not recommended, officially only POSIX 
paths are supported. If cygwin's Cmake is generating dos style paths, 
that is a bug that needs reporting to the Cygwin list. Also, I'm not 
sure how the developers will react to mishandling a directory named x:, 
but the behaviour you see is a limitation of the Cygwin platform, not of 
git.
