In case of Cygwin (Cygwin is slow, we all know that), the rather low SYMLOOP_MAX was chosen so the path handling didn't get even slower in some circumstances I don't remember anymore. Maybe the times when this was relevant are over, so we can try this. However, please send a real git patch created with `git format-patch' and don't forget your Signed-off-by:".
