Switching git branches in Windows while bash running causes corrupted files

• Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.19]

• What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy&paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)

Checking out from Windows git application while bash is running. Files that are changed (committed on the previous branch) have a high tendency to become corrupted and unable to be opened or deleted. Rebooting results in the files deleted, but a git revert restores them to working order.

I haven't yet reproduced the bug by doing a checkout in bash, the problem seems to be only if you are checking out in Windows when bash is running.

May be related to #1662 but I noticed it was reproducible often by switching between branches, haven't seen it on other operations.

Definitely a dup of 1662, happens mostly when a watch is in place in bash. In this case, using webpack.
