Not surprisingly this was exactly right, and I just posted a patch on
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ which fixes it.  It turns out that
command lines passed to CreateProcess() which contain '{' need to be
quoted (specifically quote_arg() needs to set 'force_quotes' to 1).

Thanks for the pointer.
