I'm not using the git protocol.  Note the single slash.  The machine
is named `git', which is what is confusing you.  Anything of the form
"foo:/path" uses SSH, which is what this is using.

The server is hanging up, yes, but perhaps the client isn't sending
the right responses.

No, it's on a different machine, but there is absolutely nothing wrong
with the repo.

I've tried *THREE* Windows machines now.  On all, git stops working
when cygwin is upgraded.  Works before.  Doesn't work after.  Period.

It is not a problem on the server.  There are 10+ of people using it
every minute of the day and no one has had a problem.  Ever.

It's random (at what percentage) where it dies (with this repo).  It
randomly dies with other repos, too.

I did install 1.5.25 on the 64-bit Windows 7 machine and git works
fine.  I've sucked an enormous amount of data off the git server with
it, too, and not one problem.
