Jason Pyeron has patched Cygwin's git so that it works for me (cloning
to Windows network shares).
He says:
"TLDR = Cygwin remote filesystem sometimes has strange failures ->
workaround is to use rename, not link/unlink"
but:
"The fix as is, is a sledge hammer with many side effects. A better
way to include this work around will be discussed on the git list. The
real issues may lay in both cygwin and git, caused by BLODA."
See thread below for details. (Some irrelevant stuff omitted for brevity.)
My deep thanks to Jason - I'm up and running now.

The fix as is, is a sledge hammer with many side effects. A better way
to include this work around will be discussed on the git list. The
real issues may lay in both cygwin and git, caused by BLODA.
