<div><p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I am sorry, If this question is not relevant here. If not please suggest me from where I can get help :</p><p><br></p><p>I am trying to clone from the repository "<a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git">http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2....</a>"<br>
After entering the command :<br>
git clone <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git">
http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2....</a></p>
<p>The terminal hungs for more than an hour.<br>
After which I checked the disk size in the newly created folder
:<br>
linux-omap-2.6$ du -hs .<br>
424M .</p>
<p>So I assumed atleast it did not hung and has downloaded 424M. (
Why there is no progress shown during downloading ?)<br>
-----> Atleast for a rookie like me, I would be happy if there
is progress shown ?</p>
<p>But later on I left it for one more hour, and the size still
remained 424MB.</p>
<p>Then I took strace of the "git-remote" process and observed that
It goes into infinite loop in the "poll and select API's"</p>
<p>select(0, [], [], [], {0, 50000}) = 0 (Timeout)<br>
poll([{fd=10, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI|POLLRDNORM|POLLRDBAND}], 1, 0)
= 0 (Timeout)<br>
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {40319, 761125790}) = 0<br>
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {40319, 761735093}) = 0<br>
poll([{fd=11, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI|POLLRDNORM|POLLRDBAND}], 1, 0)
= 0 (Timeout)<br>
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {40319, 762851171}) = 0<br>
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {40319, 763482264}) = 0<br>
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {40319, 764073129}) = 0<br>
select(0, [], [], [], {0, 50000}) = 0 (Timeout)<br>
poll([{fd=10, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI|POLLRDNORM|POLLRDBAND}], 1, 0)
= 0 (Timeout)<br>
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {40319, 815722241}) = 0<br>
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {40319, 817421640}) = 0<br>
poll([{fd=11, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI|POLLRDNORM|POLLRDBAND}], 1, 0)
= 0 (Timeout)<br>
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {40319, 818608398}) = 0<br>
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {40319, 819189485}) = 0<br>
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {40319, 819829798}) = 0</p>
<p>---> Is this a BUG ?</p>
<p>( FYI, I am behind a proxy server)</p></div>
