Re: Git broken with cygwin-1.7

You can work around this by cloning via http protocol instead of git.  I
have seen occasional read errors as well, but have had a hard time
reliably reproducing them.  I guess it's a good thing to report that your
sample failed in the same place for me.

The fact that the error is EFAULT makes it hard to tell whether git is
making an incorrect call, or whether it really is tickling a cygwin
regression (perhaps in mmap or pread).  Perhaps an strace will help
isolate this.  I'll see if I can come up with a simpler test case.
