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.
