 Exactly the same thing happens here with 1.7.1 under 64-bit Windows 7.
However my Cygwin is not a new install but an upgrade of a previous 1.5
installation -- in which Git worked just fine. Of course, just as you say,
this was an older version of Git but I don't think this explains the
problem because msysGit 1.6.5.1, which I installed just to test if it
works, does work fine. So the problem is either some bug in Git 1.6.4 which
was not present in 1.5.whatever version that was included in Cygwin 1.5 and
is not present in Git 1.6.5 neither or a bug in Cygwin itself, which seems
much more likely.

 And, just to remove any doubts, there are no problems at the server side.
I don't use plink, just plain old Cygwin ssh, and the connection is well
established and fetching using git from another Linux box works fine too.
So the problem is clearly local to Windows machine with Cygwin and is
almost certainly due to some bug or change of behaviour in Cygwin itself.

 Unfortunately I have no clue about how to debug it. I can run "git fetch"
with "-v" option but it doesn't seem to tell me anything useful. I include
a dump of its output below but, again, I don't expect anybody to make much
sense out of it. What I'd like to know is how to debug this further because
currently my Windows machine is simply unusable because I have everything
in various Git repositories which I can't update any longer. Is going back
to Cygwin 1.5 really the only solution?

 Thanks in advance for any ideas,
VZ

P.S. An example git fetch output:

% git fetch -vv
