Erik and Philippe,

Thanks for the quick responses. I'll take cygwin out of the picture
completely and see if that improves things.

I was hoping to use cygwin because I don't like the (understandable)
limitations of the msysgit toolset (restricted set of available tools,
invoking bat files is painful, symbolic links don't work the same way,
etc)
