I've tried the native Windows version of git while debugging this, and yes, it accepts Windows-style paths correctly. The deal-breaking issue with it for me was that it trashed the file permissions under Cygwin. Every file it touched (be it through clone, add or any other operation) was set to mode 777, so `git config core.fileMode false` would've been necessary to stay sane, but that of course comes with the drawback of not being able to change file modes.
