I guess what I should have said is that I tested it with my own GitHub
repository and had no issue. I do not disagree that the error only
occurs with cmd, but I don't think everyone will have this issue (I'm
on 32bit XP, so maybe that has something to do with it).

I haven't put git through a large number of its features. Anyway, this
is what I got for a suggestion:

$ rm -f .git/index
$ git reset

Don't know if it works but I can't exactly test it.
