If that change has any effect, that leaves three main possibilities:

1) something broke or otherwise disabled your installed /bin/sh.exe, but 
left /bin/bash.exe intact.  Someone else here had some unrelated 
activity kill cygwin's bash.exe recently...

2) the git-stash script wrongly assumes bash behaves exactly the same 
when called as 'sh' and as 'bash'.  But bash enters POSIX compatibility 
mode in that case, which disables quite a number of GNU extensions.

That would be case 2)  I don't think so, though.  The symptoms of that 
would be less blunt than "could not execute".

> Also, the previous link says that "/bin/sh is really bash", but:
> $ /bin/sh --version

That strongly hints you have case 1) happening here.
