Sorry for the delay in the follow up test, it took me some time to get back to the system.

Yes - Cygwin packaged git, as the cygcheck output indicated below. And indeed the files are on a \\server\share with a corresponding fstab entry.

Cannot use other applications - not approved. I worked hard to get Cygwin approved on DoD computers.

lsacl and ll tools are not available on my system. They do not appear to be for Cygwin at all https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=bin%2Fll.exe&arch=x86_64 and https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=bin%2Flsacl.exe&arch=x86_64

I can strace /bin/echo - so it is possible to do that, but it is the pack sub command, I will have to ponder on how to strace the sub process.

Touch and mktemp are not impacted, so why is git (pushing away from strace for now, trying logical discussion first)
