You can change the git configuration on a per-project basis, no need
to change it on a global scale.
And on top of that, the issue has also been fixed in GNU make, you
should probably update to a newer version if this is still happening
for you. (ie. the version that comes with msys2 does not suffer from
this issue anymore, for me anyway)
