Why would git-upload-pack (during git clone) hang?

Question

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

This worked for me, incase it helps someone else.

Check your git remote url. It might hang with git-upload-pack on a trace if your using the wrong url type. change the url from git@github.com: to https://github.com/ on your remote.
