Applied to 4.3.x. Please remember to patch NEWS too, if the change is user-visible.

Cygwin does not yet have full file system identification support (although it is in the works for cygwin 1.7.0). Therefore, PRUNEFS fails to exclude a vast majority of file systems, including procfs. However, archiving the contents of /proc is prone to failure, and is the intended behavior. Furthermore, on cygwin, scanning /proc/registry takes hours to search ALL of Windows internal state, but with no executables likely to be found.

This patch to ignore /proc via PRUNEPATHS has been included in several cygwin releases, but seems worth including upstream.
