Git server hosting using the git: // protocol, unable to set SO_KEEPALIVE, no such file or directory

Question

I am on Windows using GIT version 2.12.2. I executed the following command in git bash shell:

$ git daemon --reuseaddr --verbose --informative-errors --base-path=/c/ /c/

In another git bash shell, on the same machine that was serving, I tried to click git://<host>/foo.gitfrom the test one git://<host>/foo.gitand got:

[2236] unable to set SO_KEEPALIVE on socket: No such file or directory

What can I do to SO_KEEPALIVEbe able to successfully install?
