80 out of 100 times git will hang indefinitely during a clone operation.
Here's the state of things during the hangs:
----------------------- scenario 1:
remote: Counting objects: 306395, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (47753/47753), done.
remote: Total 306395 (delta 259044), reused 305469 (delta 258264)
Receiving objects: 100% (306395/306395), 207.20 MiB | 5.80 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (259044/259044), done.

---------------------- facts:
- Happens on multiple machines on this LAN, which made me believe it's the
NAT router.
- Happens when using any repository.
- There's nothing filtering egress ports (Other than the NAT)
- Kernel 3(?) to 3.5 which I run currently
- I often see it hang at __read_nocancel too in the backtrace, which is part
of the read()
- I have to abort the clone operation and retry indefinitely until it works,
which may be never.
