Windows directories become backslashes in filenames in git repo

I have a developer who is on Windows, running git under Cygwin. He's also running the Aptana plugin in Eclipse.

When pushing files to the repo from Cygwin things are fine, but when he pushed from the Aptana plugin then Github isn't showing those files in directories, instead it's put the Windows directory separator into the filename, e.g. there is a file named 'test\newfile.php' in the top level of the repo.

Github support has checked the repo and tells me that 'test\newfile.php' is what was pushed, so the problem must lie in the plugin.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Sounds like maybe it's related to this: http://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/APSTUD-3718 We weren't converting PATH properly for cygwin installs.

Filing a bug with details and a reproducible case would be very helpful, as we're not sure what we need to do differently for cygwin. A workaround is to use minGW, msysgit (which we pre-package for use), or if you're doing ruby/rails work using the msysgit inside RailsInstaller.
