Git error on Cygwin

Hi all,

I just installed cygwin on Windows XP and I have the following error when
using git-clone.

(Consider that the same command on the same repository works on Linux).

$ git-clone <username>@<host>:/<path>/<project>

Report this to cygwin team.

Try rerunning the command, usually
it helps (typical workaround for cygwin).
