No. This is not a Git for Windows issue. The remote end is the one who isn't able to load libiconv, you can tell from the fact that it complains about "libiconv.so.2", not "libiconv-2.dll", and from the fact that the client informs us that the remote end hung up.

Ankush: There's something wrong with the setup on your Linux machine;
most likely something related to the library path set up. What
protocol are you cloning over?
