I am still the Cygwin Git package maintainer; I've been quiet of late
because of personal health issues, but I'm now picking things back up
again.

Test Summary Report

  Failed tests:  12, 24-28
  Non-zero exit status: 1

Confirmed I'm seeing this on v2.13.0-rc1, and this passed in v2.12.2.
`git bisect` tells me this failure was introduced by commit
v2.12.0-267-g612c49e94, added by Devin Lehmacher (added to the CC
list).

I also see this failure; `git bisect` tells me it was introduced by
v2.10.0-rc1-4-g321459439, added by Johannes Schindelin.

I'm not sure how to proceed from here. (I don't know if it is even possible
to 'downgrade' my cygwin installation in order to confirm that the current
git-cat-file would work with the 2.7.0-1 version of the cygwin dll).

I believe (although I've never done it myself) you can get old
versions of Cygwin packages via the Cygwin Time Machine at
http://www.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/Cygwin/timemachine.html.

I'm sufficiently over-committed at the moment that I'm unlikely to be
able to spend time investigating these problems myself, but I'm happy
to test patches &c on my local installation if that would be valuable.
