Cygwin Git can clone with Unix form paths:

Cloning into '/tmp/goawk'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 330, done.
However it fails with Windows form:
$ git clone git://github.com/benhoyt/goawk 'C:\cygwin64\tmp\goawk'
Cloning into 'C:\cygwin64\tmp\goawk'...
fatal: Invalid path '/home/Steven/C:\cygwin64\tmp\goawk': No such
file or
directory
and mixed form:
$ git clone git://github.com/benhoyt/goawk C:/cygwin64/tmp/goawk
fatal: Invalid path '/home/Steven/C:/cygwin64': No such file or
directory
Note that other Cygwin programs work fine with these forms:
$ ls 'C:\cygwin64'
bin Cygwin.ico dev home sbin usr
Cygwin.bat Cygwin-Terminal.ico etc lib tmp var
This causes problems for any non-Cygwin tools that might call Git:

What exactly are you trying to solve by your query? The golang issue
you point to is marked as resolved and many suggestions similar to the
ones you've been given in this query exist in it; including a go script
to convert the strings on the command line. I probably would use a
similar method with a bash script but calling cygpath.
Good luck,
