I've been having issues cloning large repos with git under Cygwin, but only when I compiled git myself. The version of Git that Cygwin's setup.exe downloads works fine, while mine would intermittently fail with messages like this:
Cloning into 'testrepo'... remote: Counting objects: 41107, done remote: Finding sources: 100% (15143/15143) remote: Total 149668 (delta 9296), reused 148822 (delta 9296) Receiving objects: 100% (149668/149668), 613.20 MiB | 6.64 MiB/s, done. fatal: pack is corrupted (SHA1 mismatch) fatal: index-pack failed Sometimes the clone would work, but not very often. Sometimes the error wouldn't be SHA1 mismatch, but the result would still be cloning failed. I found it odd that the binary from setup.exe worked, but my compile of the same version would fail. I did a diff of the 'objdump -x' from my compile and the binary from setup.exe, and the only significant difference was my compile used cygcrypto-1.0.0.dll, and the working version used cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll . I tried simply replacing cygcrypto-1.0.0.dll with a copy of cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll and my problems went away. It seems like there may be some regression from 0.9.8 to 1.0.0 that is causing git to intermittently fail. Here is a link to someone else running into what appears to be the same issue using the FFmpeg repo: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17764079/clone-failing-at-large-depths/21049635 If anyone else is running into issues cloning with git on Cygwin (even if the error is not the exact same message), could you try temporarily replacing your cygcrypto-1.0.0.dll and check if this fixes your issues?
