The same as the msvc build on msys-MinGW, but replace msys-MinGW
with 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.
Note the difference in the cygcheck output on the (cygwin) msvc-built git:
$ cygcheck ./git.exe
.\git.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHELL32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\GDI32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHLWAPI.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WS2_32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WS2HELP.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\zlib1.dll
$
rather than the cygwin git:
$ cygcheck ./git.exe
.\git.exe
C:\cygwin\bin\cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll
C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll
C:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll
C:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll
$
[Actually, one difference between the msys and cygwin msvc builds
is that I have dynamically linked to the zlib1.dll rather than
using the static library from the msvcgit.git dependencies repo.]
