Mingw Git uses spawnvpe now, but Cygwin users might still suffer from
fork() troubles. I think it should be possible to work around that by
using posix_spawn() from start_command() on such platforms (or
someting similar).
Just FYI, posix_spawn() is not sufficiently capable for the demands of
start_command(): It doesn't allow to set a new CWD for the spawned process.
And even if posix_spawn() were capable, cygwin doesn't yet implement it.
