Apparently the "rebase" package is the accepted workaround, but even that doesn't always work.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using

This seems to be an intermittent error in Cygwin's fork() implementation that we can do nothing about: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-02/msg00662.html and https://cygwin.com/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures
"Sometimes Windows sets up a process environment that is even more hostile to fork() than usual". Gotta love it!
