Cloning git repository from Windows with CopSSH and MSysGit

Question

I'm having trouble setting up a Git server on a computer running Windows 2003 Server.

I installed CopSSH on the server, and can successfully connect to the server with SSH. Then, I installed MSysGit on the server (Just the compiled executables). Finally, I used ln -s in the CopSSH Bash shell to create links to the Git executables (from MSysGit's bin) in CopSSH's bin directory.

I can successfully connect to the server and use Git over SSH:

$ ssh git@<server>
git@<server>'s password:
Last login: Sun Dec   4 10:10:08 from <computer>

git@<server> ~
$ cd /cygdrive/c/gitRepos/

git@<server> /cygdrive/c/gitRepos/
$ mkdir test.git

git@<server> /cygdrive/c/gitRepos/
$ cd test.git

git@<server> /cygdrive/c/gitRepos/test.git
$ git init --bare
Initialized empty Git repository in C:/gitRepos/test.git/

git@<server> /cygdrive/c/gitRepos/test.git
$ exit
logout
Connection to <server> closed

But, when I try to clone from the server, it doesn't work:

$ git clone ssh://git@<server>:22/cygdrive/c/gitRepos/test.git
Cloning into test...
git@<server>'s password:
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

How can I get this to work?
