When you don't specify a command when creating a new pane, tmux will
start a login shell. So, if your login shell is /bin/sh, then it
execs /bin/sh with an argv[0] of "-sh". On the non-cygwin systems I
have access to, this starts a shell in whatever directory it was
execed from. But on cygwin, the login shell appears to always put you
in your homedir.
Tmux is doing a chdir to your -c argument, but the login shell then
changes to your homedir. If you do "tmux splitw -c /some/path
YourSHELL" you should see that tmux is honoring the -c argument.
