Hi everyone, I want to build packages for snap shoot of different branches from different remote git repositories in the same local directory (so that I don't need to recompile everything everytime.) and I am using a combination of `git clone/checkout/reset/fetch` to do that. However, during git-fetch, the remote sometimes stop responding or simply reset the connection. This happens occasionally at least for both ssh and git protocol (not sure about http/https) on github, bitbucket and also kernel.org so I think it is probably not due to a weird behavior of a certain host. Does anyone know the reason or is there anything I have done wrong? And is there a better way to set the local tree to a certain branch at a certain url? THX My git version is ArchLinux package 1.8.0-1. (timezone America/New_York in case the time stamp somehow matters) Here is a script that always triggers the issue (at least now) and it's output. (No I am not trying to merge git and the kernel... These are just random public repos on kernel.org that can trigger the issue. Although I am pulling from two repos from different project here, the same thing can also happen on other hosts when the two repos are actually the same project) Yichao Yu ------------------------------------------------------------------ #!/bin/bash repo_name=git # remote1='git://github.com/torvalds/linux.git' remote1='git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git' branch1='master' # remote2='git://github.com/git/git.git' remote2='git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git' branch2='next' git clone --depth 1 --single-branch --branch "$branch1" "$remote1" "$repo_name" cd "$repo_name" git fetch -vvv "$remote2" # "$branch2:$branch2" ----------------------------------------------- Cloning into 'git'... remote: Counting objects: 43215, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (41422/41422), done. remote: Total 43215 (delta 3079), reused 22032 (delta 1247) Receiving objects: 100% (43215/43215), 119.06 MiB | 1.60 MiB/s, done.
