This is not only a known problem, we already have a fix for it, too.
Please note that the recommended way [*1*] to report bugs in Git for
Windows would have led you to this ticket:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1029
Please also note that this is only a warning, not an error. Even so, the
problem has been reported independently several times...
There have been enough real fixes have been accumulated in Git for
Windows' `master` branch, and the next official Git version is far enough
in the future [*2*] that it was time for a Git for Windows version,
including the fix for the FAST_CWD warning.
Ciao,
Johannes
Footnote *1*: https://git-for-windows.github.io/#contribute
Footnote *2*: http://tinyurl.com/gitCal suggests that Git v2.12.0 will be
released early February soon after Git Merge (and Git for Windows v2.12.0
will follow soon thereafter), and with no patches applied to the `maint`
branch since v2.11.0, I do actually not expect any v2.11.1 to happen
before v2.12.0 comes out.
