Well, I've shown the error message, and now answer the following questions. Hopefully that's enough. >> You've previously reported that git worked great. What changed?

Never seen until the snapshot was installed. More info: Before the failure, I had removed and reinstalled cygwin, then installed the snapshot. The machine on which git works was upgraded little at a time.
