Problem with git on Cygiwn 1.7

[Andy Moreton <andrewjmoreton at gmail dot com>]

Hi,

I've tried to grab a copy of the Linux repo from kernel.org using git in
Cygwin 1.7, and I seem to be hitting the same problem noted here by Eric
Blake:

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-02/msg00567.html

Running the following commands:

cd /cygdrive/d/Source/kernel.org
ajm> strace -o git-strace.txt -b1000000 --mask=inherit,uhoh,paranoid,select,syscall \
    git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/

Produces this output:

Initialized empty Git repository in /usr/local/src/kernel.org/linux-2.6/.git/
remote: Counting objects: 1080230, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (175739/175739), done.
fatal: read error on input: Bad address328.00 KiB | 33 KiB/s
fatal: index-pack failed

The relevant portion of the strace output is:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  847 506042200 [main] git-index-pack 2084 readv: readv (0, 0x22C844, 1) blocking, sigcatchers 1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can provide the full strace log on request.
