Do you by any chance have symlinks in your PATH? There was a problem

Yes, the first and 3rd entries are symlinks. I've had these symlinks in my
PATH for years.

I excised the 2 symlink-involved PATH elements and now Git runs great with
v3.1.5 of the DLL. I'll try one of the snapshots at some point, but I am also
tempted to change my Bash function 'addPath()' to fully unroll symlinks
before adding.

Resolving Cygwin paths is best done using readlink or realpath followed by
cygpath -alm then cygpath -auU to get canonical paths, as neither realpath nor
cygpath do the complete job under Cygwin.
