I'm having trouble both tailing and scp-ing big files with msysgit (version 1.7.1.msysgit.0). This post indicates there is something wrong with underlying cygwin libraries.
Anybody know a good way to fix or circumvent these issues?

Did you try with a more recent version of msysgit?
Issue 409 and this thread both reports fixes for large files checkouts (which isn't exactly your case, but could have some influence on your issue).

No I haven't (will tomorrow), but pretty sure it won't affect anything, since the problem also relates to tail (which of course only reads). – Jonas Byström Mar 01 '11 at 09:45

@Jonas: but a more recent version of msysgit means a more recent version of MSys, which could influence also the read issue. ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3144082/different-between-msysgit-and-cygwin-git/3144417#3144417 ) – VonC Mar 01 '11 at 09:49

Currently there are problems with big files due to lack of 64-bit support. Got a reply from an msysgit developer that 64-bit msys is required, and that I (or probably someone in greater need) will have to port it to 64-bit and report back to the msysgit team when done.
