I\'ve read several other \'git hangs on clone\' questions, but none match my environment and details. I\'m using git built under cygwin (msys git is not an option) to clone
I was having this same problem after I added some jazz like this to my ssh config in order to set window titles in tmux:
Host * PermitLocalCommand yes LocalCommand if [[ $TERM == screen* ]]; then printf "\033k%h\033\\"; fi
getting rid of that fixed my git.
