Ok, since you managed to compile it, could you please try to strace
git-add? Cygwins strace is a bit unusual, but strace --help can
provide enough information to configure it to trace filesystem
operations.

In the top-level of Git source directory:

    $ uname -a > somefile
    $ strace -o log -f -m syscall ./git --exec-path=$(pwd) add somefile
    $ git ls-files -s somefile

or

    $ strace -o log -f -m syscall ./git --exec-path=$(pwd) hash-object somefile

Than check if the sha1file is missing and send in the log.
