I would report this on the Cygwin list, not here. Any use of dos file
paths using a Cygwin tool is not recommended, officially only POSIX
paths are supported. If cygwin's Cmake is generating dos style paths,
that is a bug that needs reporting to the Cygwin list. Also, I'm not
sure how the developers will react to mishandling a directory named x:,
but the behaviour you see is a limitation of the Cygwin platform, not of
git.
