Earlier, I would have been more than ready to suggest using msysGit.  But 
as I became more than just frustrated with "users" (after all, Git users 
are supposed to be developers), I refrain more and more from doing so.

Having said that, you _might_ get lucky trying msysGit, even from Cygwin.  
Just do not complain to me when it does not work.

Ciao,
Dscho

P.S.: if it does not work, and you fix a few issues, but have problems 
with others, I might be more inclined to help you, just because you did 
fix some issues.
