To close the loop, since this has also been discussed on the Git mailing list: yes, ankostis was attempting to use Cygwin Git with Windows Python. As far as I'm concerned, this isn't a supported scenario; if it worked with Git v2.8.3-1, that was coincidence rather than by design. As such, I'm not going to investigate this further. I am willing to spend a little time helping others investigate, however, and I'm willing to apply patches to the Cygwin Git builds to resolve/remove this sort of problem, provided they've been at least tentatively accepted for future application to the upstream Git source code.
