With these patches, the msvc build on cygwin seems to be working fine.

What is "the msvc build on cygwin"?

The same as the msvc build on msys-MinGW, but replace msys-MinGW
with Cygwin ;-)

Is it "git built with msvc, then run in cygwin"?

Yes, but... *in theory* the cygwin msvc-built binaries could be transferred
to an msys system and they should work (exactly as the msvc build on msys).
Since I don't have an msys installation, I can't test that... so I won't
guarantee it will work!

Any git needs a (bash-like) shell, perl, Tcl/Tk, ... etc.

Just to check I understand correctly: you are running "make MSVC=1" on
cygwin, and then you are using the resulting binaries with the POSIX tools
from cygwin.
