I like your method better. However, does it execute an rm -f for _every_ builtin, even if it does not exist? This is a huge performance eater on cygwin. Every fork() is _expensive_. Even worse: are you sure that it does not remove the _builtins_? Maybe you noticed that I asked for "git-bla." instead of "git-bla", since the latter will happily access "git-bla.exe" (at least when you do an "ls git-bla" and "git-bla.exe" exists, but not "git-bla", it _will_ show the metadata of "git-bla.exe", but with the name "git-bla"). Will test.
