I can create the initial repository OK using "git init" and add files using "git add .", but when I come to commit I get the messages: error: invalid object d9b06fceac52f6c24357e6a7f85c601 088381152 fatal: git-write-tree: error building trees git-fsck gives me: notice: HEAD points to an unborn branch (master) notice: No default references missing blob d9b06fceac52f6c24357e6a7f85c601088381152 This is with a simple repository of one directory containing one plain ascii text file with some text in it. I get similar messages, with one missing blob for each file or directory in the project, on more complex projects. At home, I use git under Ubuntu linux and haven't had any such problems. The git/cygwin install followed the instruction for a cygwin binary installation from the wiki and no problems were reported. I've been unable to find online comments relating to this problem and am stuck. Any suggestions? Paul
