I'm having the problem cloning a git repository using
Cygwin git 1.5.3.5:
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /git/git/.git/

Note above that all mounts are binary.
In git, what is failing is the following fragment on
sha1_file.c, link_temp_to_file(), around line 1968:
if (!link(tmpfile, filename))
return 0;
tmpfile: "/git/git/.git/objects/tmp_pack_H4xHmD"
filename:
"/git/git/.git/objects/pack/pack-139482038782b17f70018a3222052c02c7254a01.pack"
errno upon return: EEXIST
I don't think this part of sha1_file.c has changed in
some time. Has Cygwin link() changed recently?
FWIW, if I rewrite the above fragment as:
if (!rename(tmpfile, filename))
return 0;
I don't see the failure anymore.
