Git fatal: remote end hung up

So I thought I had finally got everything setup on Windows ... then ran into this issue.

Current setup

URL: ssh://user@host:port/myapp.git

Already run Putty - and can connect using valid .ppk keys through the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys direct. In Git and TortoiseGIT - I set both to use "plink.exe".

Putty works fine - no issues - but when I run that URL into bash I get for a git clone (url)

fatal: the remote end hung up expectedly

In a cygwin bash terminal - running "ssh user@host" - works no probs at all.

Anyone suggest anything?

I have exactly the same issue.

I don't use Putty (just Cygwin). I use Windows 7 Ultimate (fully patched as of this moment). I just installed Cygwin yesterday.

I made sure binary mounts were being used.

If I copy a git repo to the machine (via samba mount), I can clone it, but when I "git diff" after the clone, there are a bunch of "different" files with no diffs. After a "git status" there was no output from "git diff". It seems like a newline thing, but I can't figure out how that would be happening. (I have igncr in SHELLOPTS, but removing that doesn't fix it.)

I'm completely stumped.
