Why not download the pre-compiled git 1.4.4.3 from cygwin, rather than building it yourself?

I wonder if you are suffering from corrupted line endings. If your scripts end up with DOS line endings, but you execute them on a cygwin binary mount, then bash will happily treat those \r as literal characters rather than ignored whitespace (similarly to how bash behaves on Linux with \r characters, except that on Linux, people tend to not use DOS line endings).
