title: ssh clone not cloning repo in git
body: <p>I want to clone a repo of another person using ssh. For this I did following things:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Generated an ssh key in local machine.</li>
  <li>Added the key to the user's account from which the repo has to be cloned.</li>
  <li>Tested whether the key was added by running <code>ssh -T git@github.com</code> which outputs : 
  <code>Hi username! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.</code></li>
  <li>Ran <code>git clone git@github.com:repo/repo.git</code>.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The last step outputs Cloning into 'Foldername'... and I can see that the folder is created but no files are present in the folder. I left it for 1 hour but nothing was copied and I also checked the net but its working fine.
  I am using cygwin on windows to clone the repo.</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>
