I have installed two windows servers with the latest versions of cygwin and git, and am trying to clone the git repository from S1, to S2. I can successfully ssh from S2 to S1 using RSA keys, but when I do this: git clone "ssh://root@S1/path/to/my/repo" It throws back this output:

Cloning into /cygdrive/c/program files/apache software foundation/apache2.2/htdocs/myfolder...
2 [main] git 2004 C:/cygwin/lib/git-core/git.exe *** fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected - 0x61242860/0x6123790.
This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL.
Search fro cygwin1.dll using the WIndows Start->Find/Search facility and delete all bu the most recent version.  The most recent version *should* reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have installed the cygwin distrubtion. Rebooting is also suggested if you are unable to find another cygwin DLL.  

--5 more errors like that one --

remote: Counting objects: 3275, done.
remote: Compressing oobjects: 100% (3106/3106), done.
fatal: write error: Broken pipe

I tried the suggestions to no avail. Any ideas for me to try?
