This looks like some sort of problem writing to disk to me. Where are you storing your Git repositories? Is it on a regular NTFS disk, or a file share, or something more esorteric? And does that drive have plenty of free space? Can you please provide the cygcheck output per https://cygwin.com/problems.html? If neither of these points at an obvious problem, I expect the next step will be either (a) looking at Cygwin strace output to get a more detailed view of what's happening when things go wrong, or (b) having you build and run the full Git test suite with a view to using that to narrow down what steps are going wrong.
