No, that's not Cygwin git's fault. The problem is that you're using Windows paths which only work in Git for Windows: > [gffurash ~/Documents/Projects/wo219161] $ git remote -v > origin file://v:/GitSrcCtrl/wo219161 (fetch) > origin file://v:/GitSrcCtrl/wo219161 (push) Change this to: $ git remote set-url origin file:///cygdrive/v/GitSrcCtrl/wo219161 or better, because this continues to work even after changing the cygdrive path prefix: $ git remote set-url origin file:///proc/cygdrive/v/GitSrcCtrl/wo219161 POSIX-like paths should work in both git versions.
