Hi all,

   I just installed cygwin on Windows XP and I have the following error when
using git-clone.

(Consider that the same command on the same repository works on Linux).

Regards,

            Claudio

Report this to cygwin team. Try rerunning the command, usually
it helps (typical workaround for cygwin).

Unfortunately it does not.

Hopefully someone from the cygwin team will help me.

Many thanks,

           Claudio
