Did you consider patching msysgit's lib/perl5/5.8.8/File/Spec.pm by
inserting a line "msys => 'Win32'," near the top of the file; it is the
hash table that decides which path "style" is selected depending on $^O.
Then File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute($path) could be used without a wrapper.

There's another instance in the non-$quiet code path around line 1275 that
needs the same treatment.
