This means the known-hosts file has been deleted
or corrupted or can't be found.  It should be in
your .ssh directory.  It should contain one long
line beginning

199.232.41.69 ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAA ...

It's the public key of the Savannah server.  In
case you've lost it, I've attached one.

I don't think you have a git problem.  Several
of the messages you've reported are from Windows.
