Freeze cloning from a local repository

[sirnewton01]

It would be great to be able to run the t5510-fetch tests against some of the new fetch logic that has been added. Unfortunately, during setup it hangs trying to establish a local connection to a git-upload-pack that is launched to handle the source repository. In particular, it is sitting at parseRemoteInitialConnection().

@driusan does local cloning work for you? I'm wondering if this is somehow a Mac problem.

I'm on my tablet and can't check right now, but if memory serves from last time I tried to run the test I was having the same problem. I think I started trying to debug it and found that a read was blocking after it got to the end of stdin but I don't think I got anywhere trying to find a solution.

Is ssh working? They're very similar (except one invokes upload-pack over ssh, one invokes it locally), so that's a good place to start

The discussion about this is getting fragmented between duplicate issues.. does #225 fix this?

[sirnewton01]

I'll give it a try once it's merged.

This appears to be working now with #225 merged. There's a freeze when doing a local fetch. I'll raise that as a separate issue.
