Git for Windows does not have this issue, because there
GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE is defined, which is not true under Cygwin:
https://github.com/git/git/blob/274b9cc2/git-compat-util.h#L157-L165

You can see in start_command() that there are separate implementations
based on GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE. The problematic code is in prepare_cmd,
which is not called in the branch where GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE is defined:
https://github.com/git/git/blob/274b9cc2/run-command.c#L740

This means, that cygwin is running in the Unix-like branch of the
code, even though it supports backslashes in its paths.
