I agree - using git with core.autocrlf=true (a controversial setting
in itself, but one that you're stuck with if you choose to use it)
without SHELLOPTS=igncr results in bash scripts being checked out in
DOS-style, which bash can't run properly. But it's not too hard to set
this in Cygwin.bat before bash starts, once you know what the problem
is.

set SHELLOPTS=igncr
