Hi,

   exactly!  I  can  confirm it. This is a screenshot from SysInternals' Process
   Monitor: https://ferenczy.cz/temp/cygwin-git-hang.png
   
   You  can  see  that  it  hanged  for about 30 seconds trying to open the file
   "\\HEAD\PIPE\wkssvc" which obviously failed with the BAD NETWORK PATH error. 
   On  my  system, it always hangs for the same amount time, it's most likely a 
   timeout.
   
   It  just  suddenly  started to happen (I have a Git status in my prompt so I 
   noticed it when my shell started to behave extremely slowly). I have tried to 
   update both Cygwin and Git and it didn't help.
   
   Also, it's happening even outside of any repository.
   
   I would also say it's more likely a Git's issue than Cygwin's.
