Cygwin Git can't Sync File Based Repository

Cygwin Git can't Sync File Based Repository

[Gary Furash]

For example, I have a repository that looks like this

[gffurash ~/Documents/Projects/wo219161] $ git remote -v
origin  file://v:/GitSrcCtrl/wo219161 (fetch)
origin  file://v:/GitSrcCtrl/wo219161 (push)

it syncs w/ the remote destination in windows

If I sync from Git Bash (downloaded from the git site) it works fine. If I
sync from Cygwin GIT, I get the following

fatal: '/GitSrcCtrl/wo219161' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository
exists
Trying to create the repository from Cygwin doesn't work either.

[gffurash ~/Downloads] $ git clone /cygdrive/v/GitSrcCtrl/wo219161/
Cloning into 'wo219161'...
done.
[gffurash ~/Downloads] $ touch a
[gffurash ~/Downloads] $ git add .
fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /cygdrive)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

For the latter case at least, you need to first cd wo219161.

Are you sure you're using Cygwin git - what path does "which git" show?

Have you checked if there is an upgrade to be installed?
Current Cygwin version is git 2.14.2-2.
I've had no problems cloning, fetching, etc. but not pushed recently.
