A recent upstream topic introduced checks for certain Git commands that prevent them from deleting the current working directory, introducing also a regression test that ensures that commands such as `git version` _can_ run without a current working directory. While technically not possible on Windows via the regular Win32 API, we do run the regression tests in an MSYS2 Bash which uses a POSIX emulation layer (the MSYS2/Cygwin runtime) where a really evil hack _does_ allow to delete a directory even if it is the current working directory. Therefore, Git needs to be prepared for a missing working directory, even on Windows. This issue was not noticed in upstream Git because there was no caller that tried to discover a Git directory with a deleted current working directory in the test suite. But in the microsoft/git fork, we do want to run `pre-command`/`post-command` hooks for every command, even for `git version`, which means that we make precisely such a call. The bug is not in that `pre-command`/`post-command` feature, though, but in `mingw_getcwd()` and needs to be addressed there.
