We have seeing the same problem. For some reason it is calling 'git rev-list' on a commit that is 6 months old. There doesn't seems to be anything particularly special about that commit (No release tag).
I did notice that if I skip the 'merge before build' it has a higher chance of working, but it makes the job much less useful. I don't think the git command is actually what is hanging, because when I run 'ps' I don't see any processes running on the slave or the master. It seems that the command finished, but the waiting process didn't get notified somehow? Any ideas how to debug this? I would like to see what is going on in the git plugin. Why is it picking that ancient commit? What does it want to do next? I tried adding a debug logger for 'hudson.plugins.git' and Log Level 'All' but I don't see anything useful.
