When everything cools, you can see that there are some fetches hanging
(typically).
$ ps | grep 'git fetch'

You can look at the parent process of each and see that one half
spawned the other half, or you can look at the environment variables
for each to see that there are two processes operating in the same
directory for each directory where there's an issue.
$ echo "$(for pid in $(ps | grep 'git fetch' | grep -o '^[0-9]*'); do
ps -p $pid -wwwE | grep 'GIT_DIR=[^ ]*' -o; done)" | sort
GIT_DIR=testdir14
GIT_DIR=testdir14
GIT_DIR=testdir32
GIT_DIR=testdir32
GIT_DIR=testdir47
GIT_DIR=testdir47

I've searched through the mailing list, but this doesn't seem to be a
known issue.  I've only seen this occur on macs (and with a good deal
of regularity).  It doesn't occur on my Ubuntu box.
