We do get logs of your connection: Feb 27 00:04:14 vcs-noshell sshd[17954]: Accepted publickey for trevord from 86.138.108.87 port 55534 ssh2 Feb 27 00:04:14 vcs-noshell sshd[17954]: pam_env(sshd:setcred): Unable to open env file: /etc/default/locale: No such file or directory Feb 27 00:04:14 vcs-noshell sshd[17954]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user trevord by (uid=0) Feb 27 00:22:01 vcs-noshell sshd[17954]: pam_env(sshd:setcred): Unable to open env file: /etc/default/locale: No such file or directory Feb 27 00:22:01 vcs-noshell sshd[17954]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user trevord
(/etc/default/locale stuff can be ignored, but I just `touch`ed the file just in case) Your bandwidth should be more than enough. Your setup is a bit weird, they might be an issue with a recent MS Woe update, but that sounds far fetched. Is there also a problem with other repositories? e.g. git clone ssh://trev...@git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/freedink.git If nothing works, I would suggest: - installing wireshark and analysing the network traffic for that connection, just in case - contact the Git developers to try and understand the problem at a lower lowel -- Sylvain On Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 12:26:18AM -0000, Trevor Daniels wrote: > > Sylvain, you wrote Friday, February 26, 2010 10:07 PM > > > >I would suggest trying without relying on .ssh/config, and making > >sure > >there's nothing weird in /etc/hosts. > > > >You should see something like this: > >$ git clone ssh://b...@git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/lilypond.git > >Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/lilypond/.git/ > >remote: Counting objects: 189704 > >Receiving objects: 7% (20118/287391), 3.83 MiB | 716 KiB/s > > OK, at 00:05 GMT on 27 Feb I tried > $ git clone ssh://trev...@git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/lilypond.git > > I saw > >Initialized empty Git repository in > >/home/trevor/testgit/lilypond/.git/ > then nothing more.
