I'm seeing very similar bad behavior from cygwin+git on win7 x64 as
well as winxp x86. This bug is not confined to 64 bit platforms. This
bug is new in 1.7.x--I have cygwin 1.5 installs on both of these
machines that do not exhibit this failure.

The problem seems to be rooted in cygwin's openssh package. If I point
GIT_SSH at plink.exe (from the putty distribution) and configure
pageant properly for keyless login then git works fine.
