Note that mintty does not work properly with (interactive) native Windows
applications (i.e. applications that do not link against msys-1.0.dll or
cygwin1.dll) like git.exe from Git for Windows, see [1].

There you have you answer: Git for Windows runs bash.exe (not cmd.exe) from
the MinGW/MSys package. So if you have this issue in vanilla MinGW/MSys,
you'll have it in Git for Windows, too. That said, it probably makes sense
for you to discuss this on the MinGW/MSys mailing list, or even file a bug
with them.
