I still haven't pinpointed where things go wrong (I have GIT_TRACE_PACKET output, thanks to Peff, though), but I seem to be reliably able to reproduce the issue with 'master' and also reliably able to make the issue disappear with 'master' plus two reverts ("no-done" protocol extension). For tonight, I'll revert 3e63b21 (upload-pack: Implement no-done capability, 2011-03-14) and 761ecf0 (fetch-pack: Implement no-done capability, 2011-03-14), as I don't want to harm other people with this issue. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
