title: How to stop git hanging on commit in cygwin bash
body: <p>Whenever I type </p>
  
  <pre><code>git commit
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My cygwin bash terminal looks up as if it was waiting for me to finish editing the message in another process but no editor starts.</p>
  
  <p>I get an error</p>
  
  <pre><code>"C:/Program (x86)/Git/bin/sh.exe": line 0: igncr: invalid option name
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which I assume is todo with one of the environment variables I have to try and make cygwin usable.</p>
  
  <p>If I use</p>
  
  <pre><code>git commit -m "Some Message Here"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then everything works fine</p>
