Otherwise you are overwriting some of git's default settings. > When everything cools, you can see that there are some fetches hanging > (typically). > $ ps | grep 'git fetch' > ... > 63310 ttys004 0:00.01 git fetch aosp > +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/aosp/master > [...] I can't reproduce here on Linux.
