Description
Make runs much faster in Git Bash than in the Windows command "cmd.exe"
I set the default terminal in my code-workspace as follows:
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.window": "Git Bash"
Builds then run in Git Bash, but dry-runs still execute in "cmd.exe". This is causing issues as the dry-run actually executes differently than the build.

Research direction
Start by tracing the dry-run terminal selection and compare it with the workspace setting "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.window": "Git Bash". Reproduce the issue with a Windows code-workspace, then confirm that dry-runs use the configured Git Bash profile like builds do.
