I excised the 2 symlink-involved PATH elements and now Git runs great with v3.1.5 of the DLL. I'll try one of the snapshots at some point, but I am also tempted to change my Bash function 'addPath()' to fully unroll symlinks before adding. https://github.com/tb3088/shell-environment/blob/master/.functions#L144 On Friday, January 15, 2021, 11:36:28 AM EST, matthew patton via Cygwin <cygwin@cygwin.com> wrote:

Yes, the first and 3rd entries are symlinks. I've had these symlinks in my PATH for years.
/home/MP1116/.aws/YYY/bin:/home/MP1116/bin -> .WPHOME/bin/
.aws -> .WPHOME/.aws/.WPHOME -> Dropbox/Work_Projects/XXX
#/etc/fstabC:/Users /home none binary,user 0 0

This KB was released 8 December. I installed it on Dec 23 and my git failures started after that date.https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4592449/windows-10-update-kb4592449
