cygwin is completely broken. Still debugging, but it looks like the
old "windows can't unlink/rename open files" problem.

Ouch.  Sorry, and thanks for reporting.

As it turned out, not the git.c is guilty, but the missing
NO_MMAP=YesPlease in Cygwin section. I had it for a long time and
accidentally removed by the recent pull. BTW, I couldn't find nowhere
on original branch. Was it never submitted?

Ideally I should get a cygwin environment myself, but for that
first I need to procure Windows box.  Or does cygwin run on
Wine, and if so is cygwin running on Wine a good enough
approximation of the real thing?

I don't know. One should try real hard to create as much junk as there is.
