It's been very quite about this issue. Usually at least somebody 
responds. I fear that perhaps nobody's seeing this. Could somebody, 
anybody, simply respond if even just to say "Yeah, I see this. Don't 
have an answer though" I'd appreciate it.

I'd really like to get this working though as it would be really helpful 
to switch my current client over to using Cygwin. As another data point, 
they have some sort of installation of Git that brings along a little 
bash shell and a couple of Linux like commands like ls, etc. It can 
clone the git repository and afterwards Cygwin's git can utilize that 
git repository doing things like git status, git log, etc. It just can't 
do the initial clone.

Thanks.
