Hmm, are you using bash or cmd.exe? Using bash I get the following:
$ cd src
$ git commut -F c:\tmp\log.txt file.c
fatal: could not read file 'src/c:tmplog.txt': No such file or directory
$
Which is what I would expect of (any) posix shell, viz:
$ ls c:\
> ^C
$ ls c:\\
AUTOEXEC.BAT* NTDETECT.COM* WATCOM/ msysgit/
CMPNENTS/ Program Files/ WINDOWS/ msysgit-old/
CONFIG.SYS* RECYCLER/ boot.ini* ntldr*
Documents and Settings/ SUPPORT/ cygwin/ pagefile.sys
I386/ SWSTAMP.TXT* cygwintemp/ ssl/
IO.SYS* System Volume Information/ dm/ uname/
MSDOS.SYS* TOOLSCD/ dm840/ zlib/
MSOCache/ VALUEADD/ hiberfil.sys
$
If you want to use cmd.exe as your shell, I suspect msysGit (Git For Windows)
may be a better fit.
