For whomever ends up updating git, I would propose a number of changes from Ports: http://cygwin-ports.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=cygwin-ports/git There are a number of packaging improvements there, splitting up extra components by dependencies, installing all the documentation (to fix git help -w), and a patch to use cygstart as the default "browser" (ditto).
