GIT_TRACE=true GIT_TRACE_PACKET=true GIT_TRACE_PACK_ACCESS=true What do you mean by true? If this variable is set to "1", "2" or "true" (comparison is case insensitive), trace messages will be printed to stderr. If the variable is set to an integer value greater than 2 and lower than 10 (strictly) then Git will interpret this value as an open file descriptor and will try to write the trace messages into this file descriptor. Alternatively, if the variable is set to an absolute path (starting with a / character), Git will interpret this as a file path and will try to write the trace messages into it. Unsetting the variable, or setting it to empty, "0" or "false" (case insensitive) disables trace messages. > > Windows thread dumps are available here > https://github.com/jonnyzzz/git-upload-pack-deadlock/tree/master/debug > > > According to those thread dumps I see the following problem around > upload-pack.c line 129.
