With my Git maintainer hat on, I'm not going to include that change in
the Cygwin distributed version of Git unless and until I hear reports of
`git config core.createObject rename` helping more people.

This is clearly not a common problem (it's the first I've heard of this
sort of problem, and I've been using Git on Cygwin on NTFS for years
without hitting these issues), so I'm very reluctant to inflict the
disadvantages of using the "rename" object creation on everyone unless
it's going to fix problems for enough people to make those disadvantages
worthwhile.

(As it is, we haven't had verification that this change does anything
anyway, but if it doesn't, the entire point is irrelevant...)
