==============================It seems this issue has nothing to do with Git. It's a bug in the TCP traffic handling in all SVN clients from Collabnet. Here is a recent bug report about this exact issue. http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ticket/1576 The problem gets triggered on slow connections and large revisions (commits) or large files. Our slow connection is probably why I keep getting the issue. Even though we have a 4MB ADSL connection, we hardly ever reach that speeds. Plus some more research revealed the shaped ADSL connection goes through our ISP's transparent proxy, making the connection even more flaky/slow. Luckily the FPC repository has an alternative port that it listens to as well (port 8080) which bypasses the transparent proxy. Using the new port, the 'git svn fetch' is flying!!!! :-) At Last!
