With my Git maintainer hat on, I'm not going to include that change in the Cygwin distributed version of Git unless and until I hear reports of `git config core.createObject rename` helping more people. This is clearly not a common problem (it's the first I've heard of this sort of problem, and I've been using Git on Cygwin on NTFS for years without hitting these issues), so I'm very reluctant to inflict the disadvantages of using the "rename" object creation on everyone unless it's going to fix problems for enough people to make those disadvantages worthwhile. (As it is, we haven't had verification that this change does anything anyway, but if it doesn't, the entire point is irrelevant...)
