I have a problem with git, which only seems to occur with the mesa repository (which is very large, which may be something to do with the problem). I am able to work with all the other X.Org repositories without problems. Here's a short script which demonstrates the problem for me: git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa # repository is large, this may take some time cd mesa git checkout -f -b local 811aa02c7a0f4804189a8978395f07d27fb726ec touch blah git add blah git commit -m "blah" git checkout -f master fails with 2 [main] git 3624 C:\cygwin\bin\git.exe: *** fatal error - could not load shell32, Win32 error 487 Hangup # to repeat the failure rm .git/index.lock git checkout -f master I had a brief look at the relevant part of the cygwin source but I'm baffled as to how this could be happening. Suggestions on how to debug this and/or confirmations that it can reproduced appreciated.
The two most common causes of this are: 1. <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA> 2. DLL load collisions. (1) can be cured by removing the BLODA. (2) is typically cured with rebaseall.
