The git-fast-import is hung in the read() syscall waiting for data which will
never arrive. This is because the git(fast-export) process, started by the above
git(push), executes (producing it's data on stdout) and completes successfully
and exits *before* the above git-fast-import process starts.

I haven't looked to see how the git(fast-export)/git-fast-import processes are
plumbed together, but there seems to be a synchronization problem somewhere ...

This seems odd, before the fast-export process is even started it's
stdout are wired to the stdin of the helper (and thus the fast-import
process). What indication do you have that fast-import hasn't started
and that fast-export has finished?

Also, you say git remote-test everywhere, but it should be git
remote-testgit, typo?

FWIW, I have been seeing this every once in a while.
