[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Currently, Emacs ties up the Command Prompt until the user quits Emacs. In
Git Bash, you can hack around this with an ampersand (&), but the default
behavior should really be to fork a thread for Emacs and immediately return
terminal control to the user.

Can we default the next version to this behavior?
