I forget to ask when was the last time this worked for you, so maybe 
assuming this is related is premature.

This maybe looks like pilot error.

We don't allow pushing using the git:// protocol (since this protocol 
doesn't do any authorization, pushes with a it are very rarely enabled)


I suggest you need to do

   git push ssh://cygwin@cygwin.com:git/cygwin-packages/sshfs

to push successfully.

If that works, I suggest you memorialize that by doing

   git remote set-url origin --push 
ssh://cygwin@cygwin.com:git/cygwin-packages/sshfs

which will cause git to automatically use the ssh URL with a simple 'git 
push'.



You might like to review the last time we discussed this at [1]

(Note that's slightly different, as to push to cygwin-apps repositories 
you must present the key as yourusername@cygwin.com, whereas for 
cygwin-packages repositories, you can present the key as 
cygwin@cygwin.com. There are just different due to historical reasons.)
