Please don't presume to speak for the world here. I have a not insignificant group of users, many on Cygwin, and we depend upon identical behavior between Linux and Cygwin versions of git. I maintain my own local build of git for my group, among other reasons is to disable the non-Posix lstat hack. Using the Win32 lstat does not speed up git that much (maybe 20-30% in my experience) and this trade-off of compatibility vs being not quite so dreadfully slow is certainly not worth it for me. (Obviously, others have a different view, or this feature would not exist). So, I strongly urge keeping the differences between POSIX/Linux git and Cygwin git as minimal as possible.
