Cygwin is a unix-layer on top of Windows, designed to play by the
POSIX-rules. So why would you want to support Windows-style paths on
Cygwin?

Because cygwin toolset does support \.

If you want a Git that handles Windows paths, use Git for Windows...

Note that Windows is a special case as even the Win32 API does support \ and /, so every tool on Windows seems to handle nicely this. Why not Git, be it Cygwin/Git. If it does not break anything else.
