From the announcement of _autorebase:

To perform a full rebase, execute "rebase-trigger fullrebase".  Then
shut down Cygwin and simply run setup.exe.  The rebase will be
performed even when the installation did not get modified in any way.
Any subsequent runs of setup.exe will again rebase in incremental
mode.

Do you use Cygwin Emacs or something else?

Depends, but anything that could interfere with the rebase is a
potential problem.
