And according to
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/twistylittlepassagesallalike/2011/04/23/ev=
eryone-quotes-command-line-arguments-the-wrong-way/
that is NOT the correct command line to be handing to CreateProcess, at
least not if you want things preserved.

If I read that page correctly, the unambiguously correct command line
should be:

"C:\\cygwin64\\bin\\bash.exe test.sh foo \"bar\\\"baz\" bat"

Rather, go is not passing the command line to CreateProcess in the way
that is unambiguously parseable in the manner expected by
CommandLineToArgvW.  And because Go is relying on a corner case of
ambiguous parsing instead of well-balanced quoting, it's no surprise if
cygwin doesn't parse that corner case in the manner expected.  A patch
to teach cygwin to parse the corner case identically would be welcome,
but fixing recipient processes does not scale as well as fixing the
culprit source process.
