OK, so you have a clean slate and you want to do the OpenSSH approach in a 
normal Windows command line (cmd.exe). 

During the Git installer, I assume you chose "Run Git and included Unix 
tools from the Windows Command Prompt". This is the third and last option 
with the scary red warning below. *Did you choose this option? *If you did 
not choose this option, you have to use Git Bash instead of normal 
command-line below.

To make things a bit less complex, let's make sure SSH works. Try the 
following:

   - Start Command line (Start -> Run -> 'cmd')
   - ssh -T username@your-git-server

What does the command above output?
