Re: git clone failing with "fatal: index-pack failed"

I'm getting the following when attempting to clone a large git repository using Cygwin's git:

$ git clone gitolite@172.20.10.200:axcient

CYGWIN_NT-6.1 MATER2K8SHPT 1.7.25(0.270/5/3) 2013-08-31 20:37 x86_64 Cygwin

I saw some things about this a while ago. Has this been fixed?
It's been very quite about this issue. Usually at least somebody responds. I fear that perhaps nobody's seeing this. Could somebody, anybody, simply respond if even just to say "Yeah, I see this. Don't have an answer though" I'd appreciate it.

I'd really like to get this working though as it would be really helpful to switch my current client over to using Cygwin. As another data point, they have some sort of installation of Git that brings along a little bash shell and a couple of Linux like commands like ls, etc. It can clone the git repository and afterwards Cygwin's git can utilize that git repository doing things like git status, git log, etc. It just can't do the initial clone.

Thanks.
