I've been watching this thread closely, but I had decided not to post since=
 it
seemed like this discussion is unwanted by a part of the community.

On the surface, this discussion is about Git, so the most on-topic place to=
 discuss
is the Git public mailing list.  I personally don't think the Cygwin mailin=
g list
is off-topic.  Because most(all?) Windows Git distros use Cygwin code, it m=
ight be
even more useful to ask here (though I assume Johannes subscribes to Git ML=
 and
he would be able to answer all the intricacies pretty accurately).

So far, Tony Kelman's descriptions were pretty spot on (that's why I didn't=
 respond
to his call for corrections -- I couldn't think of any).
