I'm having the problem cloning a git repository using
Cygwin git 1.5.3.5:

Note above that all mounts are binary.

In git, what is failing is the following fragment on
sha1_file.c, link_temp_to_file(), around line 1968:

	if (!link(tmpfile, filename))
		return 0;

tmpfile: "/git/git/.git/objects/tmp_pack_H4xHmD"
filename:
"/git/git/.git/objects/pack/pack-139482038782b17f70018a3222052c02c7254a01.pack"

errno upon return: EEXIST

I don't think this part of sha1_file.c has changed in
some time.  Has Cygwin link() changed recently?

FWIW, if I rewrite the above fragment as:

	if (!rename(tmpfile, filename))
		return 0;

I don't see the failure anymore.
