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.
