It works fine for me on a network drive mounted from another Windows
machine used via the cygdrive prefix:
$ mount | grep cygdrive/z
Z: on /cygdrive/z type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
$ cd /cygdrive/z
$ git clone https://github.com/nerdfever/pic32mx-bmf
Cloning into 'pic32mx-bmf'...
remote: Counting objects: 12, done.
remote: Total 12 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Unpacking objects: 100% (12/12), done.
Checking connectivity... done.
I tried with two different mount points, one to a Cygwin-created remote
dir, one to a Windows-created remote dir.

No idea. How do you mount the drive, e.g., what does `mount' print for
the drive? Or could this be a permission problem? If all else fails
you could try to find out what happens via strace.
