I've been using Cygwin terminal for a long time, and have gotten very used to its quirks and what-not.
Recently I've been using the Git Bash shell in Windows 7 (64-bit). For Git command-line work, I prefer it over the DOS CMD box. Cygwin shell seems to find git file changes when it's a file line ending or some other nonsense (but that's not why I'm posting this question).
I'm experiencing something odd -and I'm not sure if it's my environment, the installed programs (Cygwin or Git Bash) or the possibility of cygwin's settings overtaking one a feature of Git Bash.
When I right-click on a folder in Windows Explorer, the context menu has a Git Bash Here
option. But when I select it, the Git Bash always opens up with its pwd
in my cygwin home directory.
I've checked my cygwin .bash_profile and .bashrc and I don't see any customized forcing of a specific home directory.
On a different computer with Windows 8, this feature works flawlessly even with Cygwin also installed.
Any ideas as to what to try? Thanks, Adam

but instead it opens in my cygwin user home directory.
