The native Windows 'git' program prints file names in the form
C:/Users/foo/bar . (It is linked with MSYS2, not with Cygwin.)
We don't need to call cygpath in this case, but we still need to
convert C:/Users/foo/bar -> C:\Users\foo\bar
like 'cygpath -w' would do.

windows-cygpath: Make it work with the native Windows 'git' port.
* lib/windows-cygpath.c (windows_cygpath_w): When we don't invoke
cygpath, still convert slashes to backslashes.
