Back in the days of DOS, the command interpreter could only run one script at a time. When you run git (which the system finds as "git.cmd") from inside a batch file, the contents of git.cmd replace the currently executing script. For compatibility reasons, when they added the ability to run multiple scripts, they made you use "call". This braindamage persists in Microsoft systems to this day. > Try prefixing the desired git command with the cmd.exe command "call". This isn't a workaround so much as a documented "feature" of the Windows command shell. You don't have problems in cygwin because cygwin uses bash instead of the default Windows command interpreter.
