OK, this is apparently due to Cygwin "textmount" CR/LF conversion issues (and a consensus to let textmode support silently rot because it's too hard, but not to actually deprecate it, according to the Git mailing list). There's a separate MSYS port of Git, but its installer(s) report corruption and won't run.
So I guess I'll have one last stab with a binary Cygwin mount point. My next computer is definitely a Macbook Pro.
