I have no problem ssh'ing to the `git' host, btw.


I went back to 1.5.25-15 and git works again (of course, it's an older
version of git, 1.6.1.2).



I tried to install 1.6.1.2 on 1.7.1, but it didn't work.  The clone
complained that the index-pack program was missing.  I did the usual

  ./configure && make && make install

so I'm not sure what else to try.



I still have cygwin 1.7.1 installed on a Windows 7 machine, so I can
try 1.6.1.2 if someone can help me get it installed properly.


Since Windows 7 isn't supported with 1.5, I really need to figure this
out.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Kevin
