We faced the same issue on a Windows XP machine with CYGWIN.

I didn't find it, can you add it here?

Comment 6 Robin Rosenberg 2011-04-11 17:33:32 EDT

The workaround is to add 
-Djgit.gitprefix=/usr/local/git or whatever contains or would contain etc/gitconfig to (the end of) eclipse.ini

if jgit.gitprefix is defined JGit will no attempt to spawn a process in order
to figure it out

In my case I have cygwin at PATH. When I removed it - problem dissapeared.

I have Cygwin as well, hadn't realized that, will test again.

The issue is now gone after that change alone, didn't have to set jgit.gitprefix manually.

Comment 11 Fernando Ribeiro 2011-04-13 16:46:06 EDT

Is the current patch going to be in 0.12?

Comment 12 Matthias Sohn 2011-04-19 07:12:51 EDT

yes, this patch will be shipped with 0.12

Any volunteers to test http://egit.eclipse.org/r/3261 ?

This patch is more debuggable and does things a little better.

Comment 15 Chris Aniszczyk 2011-05-03 12:54:58 EDT

This issue is a bit difficult to reproduce and Robin's fix should help.

To debug further if you run into this issue ever again, ensure jgit.fs.debug is set to true.
