If I attempt to `git add` an extant file specified using a Windows-style
path on Cygwin Git, this doesn't add the file, and produces no error
message:
$ pwd # As seen by Cygwin
/cygdrive/c/tmp
$ cygpath -aw . # As seen by Windows
C:\tmp
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /cygdrive/c/tmp/.git/
$ git add 'c:\tmp\file' || echo non-zero exit code # Errors out as expected
fatal: pathspec 'c:\tmp\file' did not match any files
non-zero exit code
$ touch file
$ git add 'c:\tmp\file' || echo non-zero exit code # No error this time...
$ git status # ...even though the file didn't get added
On branch master
Initial commit
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
file
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
I wouldn't expect adding the file to actually succeed, but I would
expect it to either succeed or produce an error, rather than silently
failing.
Experimentation shows I get the same behaviour for 'c:\tmp\file',
'c:/tmp/file' and 'subdir\file'. I'm seeing this on v2.8.0; the
downstream report says the same behaviour occurs on v2.7.4[0], and I've
also seen what appears to be the same behaviour on a v2.0.5 build I
produced to check.

Can you try git-bisect if possible? An strace log may be helpful
otherwise (looks like strace is supported on cygwin, but I don't know
to what level)
