This is essentially the same issue that has been reported at https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/5632. The problem is in the MSYS2 runtime, which is the POSIX emulation layer required to run Bash that Git for Windows employed, which in turn is a friendly fork of the Cygwin runtime. I haven't had time to report this bug over in Cygwin yet (for which I would have to verify that this bug reproduces with their own Bash running in their own MinTTY). Maybe you can help out and install Cygwin (https://cygwin.com) and perform that test? Thanks, Johannes
