I know exactly what are my options and believe me, there are more than the one reported here. In my case, we need to update Cygwin Git in our machines, so a solution to stick to 3.0.7 and update only Git is also fine. 

However, we have performed a full update and found the issue with maven in our pilot phase. My interest is not personal for my machine, but to prepare a Cygwin package to push the update to all developers. I need only to know when there will be the new release that will include a fix for this issue as I am not aware of the Cygwin release schedule. Based on the information, we can decide what option fits better our institution.
