Thank you for fixing this. However, we can't accept patches via pull requests on GitHub. Please read Documentation/SubmittingPatches to submit a neatly formatted patch so that we can consider it for inclusion. Also, please consider patching the existing git-new-workdir script to work with GitBash instead of creating one from scratch.

Thanks.
