Cygwin's git says "error: failed to read delta-pack base object"

Cygwin's git says "error: failed to read delta-pack base object"

[Dave L]

...but the git from github.com works fine.

I installed Cygwin's version of git, and get this:

    $ git clone https://github.com/nerdfever/pic32mx-bmf
    Cloning into 'pic32mx-bmf'...
    remote: Counting objects: 12, done.
    remote: Total 12 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
    error: failed to read delta-pack base object
    300bdeb2fd209d24afb865584da10b78aa8fefc4
    fatal: unpack-objects failed

When I run the git that came from github (the MINGW32 version), it works
fine.

I'm pretty sure this is operator error, but I'm stumped. What am I doing
wrong?

(that repository is public - you can try it yourself)

Aha - you're right.

It works fine on a local NTFS volume.

I get the error when I do it on Z:, which is mapped to a network drive
(on another Windows box).

Is there a workaround? Why does this happen?

It works fine for me on a network drive mounted from another Windows
machine used via the cygdrive prefix:

  $ mount | grep cygdrive/z
  Z: on /cygdrive/z type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
  $ cd /cygdrive/z
  $ git clone https://github.com/nerdfever/pic32mx-bmf
  Cloning into 'pic32mx-bmf'...
  remote: Counting objects: 12, done.
  remote: Total 12 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
  Unpacking objects: 100% (12/12), done.
  Checking connectivity... done.

I tried with two different mount points, one to a Cygwin-created remote
dir, one to a Windows-created remote dir.

No idea.  How do you mount the drive, e.g., what does `mount' print for
the drive?  Or could this be a permission problem?  If all else fails
you could try to find out what happens via strace.

Is this Z: drive on a machine in the same domain?
