This new version incorporates a fix for a long standing path issue that was
introduced Dec 2016:

https://github.com/git/git/commit/05b458c

and I reported Nov 2018:

https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-11/msg00136.html

and patched Dec 2018:

https://github.com/git/git/commit/1cadad6

My basic test passes so thats appreciated. Also this new version incorporates a
feature addition "git blame --color-by-age" which was introduced May 2018:

https://github.com/git/git/commit/3d24129

I never requested a new version because... reasons:

https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-05/msg00193.html

at any rate, my basic test for "blame" with color passes so thats appreciated.
