git-gui: Work around odd cygpath bug on Windows.
There appears to be a bug on one of my test systems where cygpath with the --long-name option is generating a corrupt string that does not actually refer to sh.exe. This breaks any desktop icon created by git-gui as the executable we are trying to invoke does not exist. Since Cygwin is typically installed as C:\cygwin long path names is probably not actually necessary to link to the shell. I also added a small echo to the start of the icon script, as it can take one of my test systems several seconds to startup git-gui. This way the user knows we're starting git-gui, and was politely asked to wait for the action to complete. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
