You forgot to merge my build of the Cygwin kill utility for MSys.
Available here:

Also, when I start git-gui from an empty repository, or try to amend
the root commit, I get:


Assertion failed: argv0_path, file exec_cmd.c, line 15

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

    while executing
"exec {C:/Program Files/Git/libexec/git-core/git-mktree.exe} << {}"
    ("eval" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"eval exec $opt $cmdp $args"

"PARENT"
    (procedure "rescan_stage2" line 25)
    invoked from within
"rescan_stage2 filebf7840 ui_ready"


I get the same error if I simply run 'git mktree' as well.
