I believe that one of the projects hosted must have announced a new git release and that synchronice a lot of people trying to clone at the same time. It seemed as if everyone in the world was trying to clone all at once. There was almost 8G of system memory consumed solely by many running git processes. It just couldn't keep up. Eventually I couldn't find an alternative to killing all of the git processes and waiting a bit before restarting the server. Hopefully as people start cloning again they won't all do it at once. A little time skew goes a long way. Having done that at around 06:20 UTC (11:20pm US/Mountain) that seemed to break the problem and things appear to be working normally again since then. I have once again reduced the number of parallel git servers, now down from 25 to 15. Bob
