Package: git-core
Version: 1:1.6.0.6-1
Severity: normal
today I've discovered that I can't debcheckout packages from my public git
repository, and I was sure that it worked before, but I could not remember when
was the actual time I've tried that last time.
a bit of pain and I've discovered the issue and workaround: raising connection
limiting in shorewal (iptables) from 6/sec:20 to 12/sec:40, where it
stands for
# <rate>/<interval>[:<burst>]
#
# where <rate> is the number of connections per
# <interval> ("sec" or "min") and <burst> is the
# largest burst permitted. If no <burst> is given,
# a value of 5 is assumed. There may be no
# no whitespace embedded in the specification.
after that I've decided to find when regression happened, and thanks for
snapshots.debian.net:
1:1.5.5.4-1 -- worked
1:1.5.6~rc0-1 -- borked
I will keep my webserver running with current limit rates for a bit, so you
could reproduce and troubleshoot the issue, just do
git clone http://git.onerussian.com/vcs/deb/impressive.git
and you might get different kinds of errors reported:

Actually now I've tried to clone with 1:1.4.4.4-4+etch1 version from a
host which is somewhat far from the server, and it fails closer to the end of
the cloning:

although the same version worked fine while working from close-by host
which I've used originally.
so, it seems that overall that git has unreliable http transport handling, and
in the latest versions it became more sever.
also users of #git irc reported that it worked fine for them from remote
hosts(germany) using versions git-1.6.0.6-1.fc10.x86_64 and 1.6.1.230.gf873d,
but debian patches didn't apply cleanly over 1.6.1 release, and I need to do
some RL work, so filing this bug report as is
