Cygwin and Tortoise Git

Question

I have recently installed Cygwin along with the Git binaries and a copy of Tortoise Git on a fresh Windows XP install. I seem to be able to do most Git operations through Tortoise such as viewing the logs etc, but when I come to commit via Tortoise I get this message...

error: unable to create temporary sha1 filename : No such file or directory

I am able to commit via the command line - I just dont seem able to commit through the gui interface!

Thanks,

Have you tried to reboot your machine. I had some trouble with a Tortoise installation once, but that solved the problem.
