Seeing this definitely makes me think this should be reported to the Git
for Windows project (https://github.com/git-for-windows/git) because
that's a nonstandard option that's specific to Windows. I don't think
anyone here (other, of course, than the Git for Windows folks) is
familiar with how that option works and since it isn't part of core Git
we wouldn't be able to fix it.
