And for those who might not follow these things too closely, the
upcoming 2.x releases of git-for-windows will be based off of MSYS2
(see https://github.com/git-for-windows), so a much more modern Cygwin
dll under the hood of the bash/coreutils pieces. But yes, large parts
of that git distribution, aside from the shell, are compiled by MinGW
compilers (MinGW-w64 in the under-development git 2.x releases) rather
than Cygwin compilers.
