Pull Request Overview
This PR simplifies the detection of Cygwin Git by replacing the former multi-step logic with a concise check that relies on sys.platform.
- Removed deprecated functions and caching logic for Cygwin detection.
- Updated the Git command interface to directly use sys.platform and the Git executable's existence.

Consider adding an inline comment explaining that sys.platform being 'cygwin' reliably indicates a Cygwin environment per Python 3.7+, to improve clarity for future maintainers.

sys.platform == "cygwin" to figure out when we are using cygwin
The current logic for detecting cygwin is:
sys.platform == "win32", then it's not cygwinunameexecutable in the same folder as the git executable, and if so, does the output of that command include"CYGWIN"? if so, then it's cygwinIn thepython 3.7 docs for sys.platform, Cygwin systems have
sys.platform == "cygwin". Since Python 3.7 is the oldest version still supported by GitPython, it stands to reason that we can rely on that being true for all supported Python versions.The logic I propose is:
sys.platform == 'cygwin', then it's cygwin gitThis is simple enough for a single expression, so I replaced the body of the
is_cygwinfunction with that expression and removedis_cygwin_gitand friends completely.I don't know if there's such a thing as
sys.platform == 'cygwin'and thegitnot being cygwingit, but if there is, I don't think the existing code deals with that anyway, so this seems to return the same result and would fail in the same way.
