try:

$ git clone "/cygdrive/c/Users/DAMS/Documents/My Dropbox/Projects/RED.git"

You're not escaping the space in "My Dropbox", which splits the content into multiple argunemts to git. using the c: specification causes it to use ssh to access a host called 'c'

the colon is used to separate hostname from the path.

i believe in cygwin you can say: /c/users/DAMS/…

 $ git clone '/c/Users/DAMS/Documents/My Dropbox/Projects/RED.git'
