I am still the Cygwin Git package maintainer; I've been quiet of late
because of personal health issues, but I'm now picking things back up
again.

Confirmed I'm seeing this on v2.13.0-rc1, and this passed in v2.12.2.
`git bisect` tells me this failure was introduced by commit
v2.12.0-267-g612c49e94, added by Devin Lehmacher (added to the CC
list).

I also see this failure; `git bisect` tells me it was introduced by
v2.10.0-rc1-4-g321459439, added by Johannes Schindelin.

I believe (although I've never done it myself) you can get old
versions of Cygwin packages via the Cygwin Time Machine at
http://www.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/Cygwin/timemachine.html.

I'm sufficiently over-committed at the moment that I'm unlikely to be
able to spend time investigating these problems myself, but I'm happy
to test patches &c on my local installation if that would be valuable.
