Cygwin git dies silently

I am trying to use the standard version of git that comes with Cygwin (Cygwin says it's version 1.6.1.2-1), but when I invoke git from Cygwin bash nothing happens: the shell prompt appears again with no other output. I tried several different sets of git arguments, but they all behave the same way. "echo $?" says that git is exiting with status 53. Does anyone have any suggestions for what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
