title: git clone hangs at "checking connectivity"
body: <p>OS - Windows 7 professional 64 bit</p>
  
  <p>GIT for windows - Git-1.9.0 - Using Git bash </p>
  
  <p>I started having problems with "git fetch" suddenly out of nowhere.  </p>
  
  <p>Sometimes git.exe would error out and sometimes the "git fetch" would just hang.</p>
  
  <p>So I decided to start everything from scratch.</p>
  
  <p>I uninstalled git for windows and reinstalled it (accepting all defaults), restarted the machine.  Created a brand new folder and did the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git clone git@github.com:myid@example.com/myproject.git
  Cloning into 'myproject'...
  Enter passphrase for key '/c/Users/myid/.ssh/id_rsa':

  Checking connectivity...

  <p>It consistently just hangs at "checking connectivity" </p>
  
  <p>I have scanned the machine for viruses/trojans what have you and no threats were found.</p>
  
  <p>This is happening both at work location and from home - So its probably not the internet.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not sure how to proceed or what to try next.</p>
