I think "git on Cygwin" is as legitimate as git on anything else, but at
the same time my guess is that it is a combination of the fact that
everybody is busy with other things around the end of year , and that
probably there are not many "git on Cygwin" experts monitoring the list to
begin with.

Sorry, I do not work on Cygwin (nor Windows in general).  "fatal: read
error (Socket operation on non-socket)" sounds like it is coming from
pkt-line.c::safe_read() on the downloading side (i.e. git-clone).

Googling for that error message seems to indicate that it seems to a
rather common error message on wide variety of programs running on Cygwin.

C.f.
