MSYS does treat backslashes as escapes, and I think that is a worse 
problem than cmd.exe interpreting forward slashes as command options, as 
it can occur in more situations. I think we should use forward slashes 
throughout.

Unfortunately I can't get your patch to apply against current Git, but 
I'm not sure why (see attached file for errors). Can you/someone test if 
it applies (maybe there's something weird happening on my Windows setup)?
