Those bytes should be coming from the git-clone process, which is relaying the bytes from the other side. Check the backtrace of git-clone to see why it isn't feeding more data (but note that it will generally have two threads -- one processing the data from the remote, and one wait()ing for index-pack to finish). My guess, though, is that you'll find that git-clone is simply waiting on another pipe: the one from ssh. -Peff
