Hi There is hope because I use exactly the same Git-1.6.1-preview20081227.exe (no Cygwin) on 3 computers Win-XP at work. The repositories are both on networked windows drives and I also have a Gentoo Linux server running Gitosis and it works flawlessly.
If this is consistent over several versions then I think you need to look elsewhere... Do you clone using http or ssh ? Firewall? Do you have any proxy? If you have proxy you need to set this up... otherwise you get exactly this... try something like: export http_proxy=http://user:[email protected]:8084 and then clone...
