GIT - getting 'early eof' error on pull....

Question

I think I'm about fed up with GIT - I keep getting these obscure errors with no indication as to where or why.

This last is on a pull on a cygwin side with GIT version 1.7.2.3 - I get an 'early eof' message and then it won't go any more.

The repository scenario is:

MAC - working repository MAC - bare repository serving as a central store. WIN - working repository

I'm pushing to the bare repository and pulling from it.

I've tried re-initializing a bare repository and pushing to it, again from the Mac side. Still get the error on the Win side.

There is no indication what is causing the early eof, but the last thing I added on the Mac side were some .dylibs and links.

Any thoughts appreciated.
