On Windows you can have either MinGW or Cygwin. As has been shown in this script
MinGW uses "start" while Cygwin uses "cygstart". The "cygstart" command is
robust but the "start" command breaks on certain URLs
$ git web--browse 'http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_&_Peele'
'_Peele' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
An alternative is to use PowerShell. PowerShell is a component of Windows and
will work with both MinGW and Cygwin.
