First of all, welcome to Git.
Second, which version of Git are you using ? And which version of Windows ?
Third, I don't think that this has to do with Git Daemon.
        When I look at "read error: Invalid argument", it may be fixed in the
        latest version.
        And that why it is important to know the version you are using.

And, there is a special place to report problems with Git for Windows: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki (hope I got it right), but please feel free to continue here on the mailing list.
