Thank you for your ideas! I have made no changes but can't reproduce the issue today both with a very short path of /usr/bin and the original path I tried with VPN off or on I would be happy to try a few other experiments - but I don't even need the workaround of reverting to an older git
$ which git /usr/bin/git $ git --version git version 2.45.1 OPATH="$PATH" PATH="/usr/bin" git clone -v https://github.com/lxml/lxml.git mv lxml lxml- PATH="$OPATH" git clone -v https://github.com/lxml/lxml.git while rm -rf lxml && time git clone -v https://github.com/lxml/lxml.git ; do date ; done at the moment the above loop runs hundreds of times without errors On Mon, May 27, 2024 at 1:31 PM Adam Dinwoodie <a...@dinwoodie.org> wrote: > > > I've just set up a test sandbox with the same set of Cygwin > applications installed, and I'm still not able to replicate this > failure, which is going to make it difficult to work out what's going > wrong for you! > > I note your Cygwin PATH has several entries before /bin, including a > ~/bin that apparently contains a perl executable; can you see if you > can reproduce the problem with a clean PATH? > > In any case, I'm having to conclude the issue is something odd about > your environment that doesn't seem to be affecting most people. > Working out what's going wrong will probably require isolating what > difference is relevant here.
