Here's another fresh example but with the above turned on. This is
exactly the craziness I experienced ~7 months ago when I last tried
working in this environment (Windows 8 then and now).

I've annotated it.

This is all in the same fresh Git-Bash:


## Trace vars are set


 
 ~/chef-repo/cookbooks (master)
$ env | grep GIT
GIT_TRACE=1
GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1



## Repo clean state


 
 ~/chef-repo/cookbooks (master)
$ git status
trace: built-in: git 'status'
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

nothing to commit, working directory clean



## First, total failure


 
 ~/chef-repo/cookbooks (master)
$ knife cookbook site install windows --verbose
Installing windows to c:/Users/Jeff/chef-repo/cookbooks
ERROR: Errno::EIO: Input/output error - CreateProcessW



## We back up a directory and it tries to work...


 
 ~/chef-repo/cookbooks (master)
$ cd ..


 
 ~/chef-repo (master)
$ knife cookbook site install windows --verbose

---- End output of git commit -m "Import windows version 1.34.2" --

Ran git commit -m "Import windows version 1.34.2" -- windows returned 1



## Let's get back on master since we were left on chef-vendor-windows


 
 ~/chef-repo (chef-vendor-windows)
$ git checkout master
trace: built-in: git 'checkout' 'master'
Switched to branch 'master'
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.



## And we try again and it WORKS!
