I tried to install 1.6.1.2 on 1.7.1, but it didn't work. The clone complained that the index-pack program was missing. I did the usual
./configure && make && make install so I'm not sure what else to try. I copied git-index-pack.exe from the build directory to /usr/local/libexec/git-core/ and now 1.6.1.2 behaves the same as the cygwin-built git: la...@hobart256 ~ $ git clone git:/repo/git/acl acl Initialized empty Git repository in /home/layer/acl/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 9205, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3300/3300), done. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fatal: early EOFs: 32% (2946/9205) fatal: index-pack failed la...@hobart256 ~ So, it would seem that something in cygwin, not git, has made this fail, since git 1.6.1.2 is working for me with cygwin 1.5.25.
