What do you mean by proxy authentication here?  What do you have
configured, and how?

WJFFM with those versions, but then I'm not using any sort of web proxy.

Are you able to test any other combinations of these?  I don't think the
results for Git for Windows are going to be particularly informative --
there are too many variables between that build and Cygwin's -- but
knowing whether it's the bump from Cygwin v1.7.35 to v2.2.1, or from
Curl v7.41 to v7.43, would be potentially useful.

As an interim solution, does using ssh instead of https work?
