title: Git for windows - unable to clone repository
body: <p>When I attempt to clone a repository USING WINDOWS GIT (<a href="http://windows.github.com/" rel="nofollow">http://windows.github.com/</a>) it consistently gets stuck on 9% complete. So all of the git specific files seem to be downloaded but the source itself is not.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried updating the proxy settings within .gitconfig located at c:\users\username\.gitconfig to contain the proxy setting : </p>
  
  <pre><code>proxy=myproxy:myport
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What could be causing this issue ?</p>
