No, that's not Cygwin git's fault.  The problem is that you're using
Windows paths which only work in Git for Windows:

Change this to:

  $ git remote set-url origin file:///cygdrive/v/GitSrcCtrl/wo219161

or better, because this continues to work even after changing the
cygdrive path prefix:

  $ git remote set-url origin file:///proc/cygdrive/v/GitSrcCtrl/wo219161

POSIX-like paths should work in both git versions.
