Re: NetBSD 10 and unreliable git

Hi Martin and Aryabhata,

network is probably the issue. I was around this weekend and used
wireless in two different places, the connection was good. I know both
places and used them often with different computers (parent's house,
girlfriend home.. not some hotel or airport).

However, at my home today I launched on both repositories via wired
ethernet and it worked.

I suppose network issues. Since cloning the same repository and updating
the other - both failed before also with reboots - now worked. I hope
git is deterministic.

Now that I write, I remember having seen this error on one of my old
SparcStations. There, just reuissing the command helped. It was however
on a much smaller repository.

Do I need to connect?
