Your job runs on the Jenkins master server. What version of the git client do you have installed on your Jenkins master?
I have seen issues where earlier versions of git for Windows (pre-1.9.5) will hang during routine operations like git fetch. I’ve seen this happen both at my desk and in our Jenkins ecosystem. The workaround pre-1.9.5 was to install Putty and set the GIT_SSH environment variable to use Putty’s plink.exe. With git 1.9.5 they have seemingly improved performance such that using Putty is no longer necessary.

On some of them, the git fetch part of the command fails with the following output: Building on master in workspace C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\test_123\workspace > git.exe rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree # timeout=10 Fetching changes from the remote Git repository > git.exe config remote.origin.url > ssh://g...@stash.mycompany.com:port/path/test-project1.git # timeout=10 Fetching upstream changes from ssh://g...@stash.mycompany.com:port/path/test-project1.git > git.exe --version # timeout=10 > git.exe -c core.askpass=true fetch --tags --progress > ssh://g...@stash.mycompany.com:port/path/test-project1.git > +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* # timeout=10 ERROR: Timeout after 10 minutes ERROR: Error fetching remote repo 'origin' ERROR: Error fetching remote repo 'origin' I get no more information. The process doesn’t get rejected by Stash, it just times out waiting for admission. The odd thing is that at the same time, other builds that do the very same thing will execute. On some builds, the effect even seems to occur arbitrarily, or not. Only one job really never seems to work (the one above). This just started happening on Monday. No changes or updates were made to either Stash or Jenkins (Windows 7 x64, v1.580.1). All connections are going out from this one machine, and the Stash connection has been working fine up until now. I tried upgrading the Git plugin, without effect, so now it is back at 2.3.4. Any ideas are appreciated! (A while ago, I had a similar inexplicable issue with Subversion I never got to solve, which was terribly frustrating. So any help is very much appreciated, really.)
