Ah I do vaguely remember that patch going through.
I grepped for `gnuwin` and saw a bunch of references to it, all of them saying/implying that we should be using gnuwin. Perhaps those should be updated?
The thing with git bash tools is that although they're great for development, it's non trivial to download them and unpack them somewhere as part of bot builds.
