Git reporting "Not a git repository" [message #573720]

After I tried using eGit to fetch from GitHub to my WinVista laptop, the
Cygwin git status & fsck commands report:

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

The contents of the .git directory look generally OK:

COMMIT_EDITMSG HEAD branches index objects remotes
FETCH_HEAD ORIG_HEAD config logs refs

is there another diagnostic or repair I can try?

Unfortunately, I have some code on my laptop, so I'm reluctant to blow
the repo away and start over.

Thanks for any guidance!
John
