"-v" maybe new argument. 
Can you try to upgrade msysgit to 1.6.2.2?

OK, I installed 1.6.2.2 before this trying.
But, On "settings" of TortoiseGit, "git version" is 1.6.0.4.
The old CYGWIN versioned(1.6.0.4) git is recognized in priority??

Do you set correct msysgit path?

Thanks lznuaa.

I installed MSYSGIT 1.6.2.2 to "D:\software\Git",
and I set the path "D:\software\Git" or "D:\software\Git\bin" on "settings" of
TortoiseGit.
But, CYGWIN versioned is recognized after setting borth path.

When I push [...] button of "MSYSGIT path:" and set the directory,
I see dialog of "Error while reading/writing the registry key MSysGit 
アクセスが拒否
されました。". 
Then I input path of MSYSGIT to textbox directly.

If not convenient for here, I will move googlegroups...

It maybe write local machine registry problem. 
Can you use regedit to check if vaule of 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tortoisegit\Msysgit

You can modified it directly. 

Do you add cygwin git to PATH?

> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tortoisegit\Msysgit
I checked it, but it has no entry of "Msysgit".
I found "CachePath", "Directory", "ProcPath", "TMergePath" on
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tortoisegit

> Do you add cygwin git to PATH?
Yes, I add a cygwin bin path like c:\cygwin\bin(/usr/bin on cygwin).

Bye the way, I updated cygwin's git to 1.6.1.2.
For the meantime, my problem is resolved...
"error: unknown switch `v'" are not appeared.

Thanks.
