Hi, this may be related to Cygwin. The error "C770817@C036357 /cygdrive/e/OpenJDK/jdk8" indicates that you are using a "Cygwin-Mercurial". I would recommend to install and use a native Windows Mercurial (e.g. http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/download/index.html) and try with that one.
I never had problems cloning with tortoisehg, also I didn't succeed to push with it (I think because of some ssh/private-key issues). So I use the Cygwin hg for pushing, but that's not very stable for me either...
