Once or > twice, a repeat MAY work, but often not. [] snip 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.
