Clone failing

[licaon-kter]

Is anyone else getting this?

git clone --verbose git://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware.git
Cloning into 'rpi-firmware'...
remote: Counting objects: 24129, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (8865/8865), done.
fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer MiB | 826 KiB/s
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

Saving as a ZIP works, but clone and rpi-update fail on both my PI and my desktop, this error is from the desktop since on the PI it takes a whole lot longer. FYI, cloning the https://github.com/hexameron/RTCW-SP-arm repo works ok.

Any ideas? It worked fine until 2 days ago, since then I get this. :(

I've just ran rpi-update on Pi which worked, and I've tried a fresh git clone on Ubuntu machine which also worked.
(I used "--depth 1" otherwise the repo is huge).
Problem is either intermittent github issue, or it's at your end.

Works now.

I spoke too soon, and I just tested on my desktop back then, now I try again and it's stuck no matter what:

>git clone --verbose --progress --depth 1 git://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware.git
Cloning into 'rpi-firmware'...
remote: Counting objects: 1683, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1338/1338), done.
Receiving objects: 0% (13/1683), 660.00 KiB | 120 KiB/s
(5 minutes pass stuck at 13 files) ^C

or

>git clone --verbose --progress git://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware.git
Cloning into 'rpi-firmware'...
remote: Counting objects: 24177, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 54% (4836/8905)
(5 minutes pass stuck at 4836 objects) ^C

Now, this happens every time on both my RPi and the desktop, on the same ethernet connection, where BTW I can clone any other github repo without any issue. It's always on "Receiving..." with --depth 1 and on "remote: Compressing...' without depth. The number of objects downloaded seems to vary. No files are actually saved on disk ever. ZIP saving from the web interface works ok. Using clone git:// or clone http:// does not matter. Git version 1.7.10.4 on both, Raspbian and Debian Sid.

No problem here (on Ubuntu 11.10 in VirtualBox, git version 1.7.5.4):
git clone --verbose --progress --depth 1 git://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware.git Cloning into rpi-firmware... remote: Counting objects: 2568, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1593/1593), done. remote: Total 2568 (delta 886), reused 2301 (delta 740) Receiving objects: 100% (2568/2568), 74.23 MiB | 1.13 MiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (886/886), done.

Who else is hitting this? Who else is this working for? Where are you located? (I'm in Cambridge UK).
Does OS used make any difference? Anything unusual about network setup (VPN/proxy).
What IP address do you see github at? (I get PING github.com (207.97.227.239) 56(84) bytes of data).
Does this work any better:
git clone --verbose --progress --depth 1 git://207.97.227.239/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware.git

It Works for me ( Reggio Emilia IT) on Arch Linux. I see the same IP - 207.97.227.239 - for github.com

I worked a day later. I guess the github changes were at faullt.
