title: Cygwin "git clone" gives "remote end hung up unexpectedly" against Ubuntu 10.04.1
body: <p>I am in the process of figuring out how to get Eclipse (Windows 7) working against our freshly git-migrated CVS repository which I have put in gitosis on an Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS host.  All software is installed with apt-get (git, gitosis, etc.).</p>
  
  <p>Eclipse with egit hangs when trying to check out, so I am playing with command line clients.  Cygwin has git and openssh, so I'd like that to work at least (then we can use Eclipse against the local copy).   To do only babysteps I have cloned the gitosis repository on another Ubuntu host with more diskspace, and try to clone that on my Windows box.</p>
  
  <p>I get the following error message which puzzles me quite a bit:</p>
  
  <pre><code>tra@TRA /cygdrive/c/Users/tra/git

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>git is 1.7.0.4 on the Ubuntu box, and 1.7.2.3 in Cygwin.  scp and sftp work nicely. </p>
  
  <p>Is there some Voodoo-trick I need to know to make this work?</p>
