  • Definitely discourage the use of Git for Windows; the two-factor auth prompt just blocks the process
  • Check that it's not a mixed up cygwin32/cygwin64 installation
  • Check that there's no /usr/bin/flexdll (because of the point above)
  • Make sure we also install curl
  • Check that HOME is of the form drive:/cygwin64/home/foo
  • Check that there's a ~/.bash_profile
