I assume this is the port number and it's obviously wrong.
There's very likely a git service entry missing in
%SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\services.  You can try to add it
like this:

  git                   9418/tcp

or you could try to add the port number to the CLI:

  git clone git://sourceware.org:9418/git/newlib-cygwin.git
