Hmm... It's a newer version of git, sshd, and the rest of the OS. Which would include kernel, networking, and everything else associated with it. Otherwise the configuration of all should be the same as the previous system. Everything has been updated to the current release in Trisquel 9 Stable LTS version. However if it used to happen previously too then that would indicate that it is not the server VM which is an issue. Since that was updated on December 24th, 2021. > For example, for Coreutils a few minutes ago: > > $ git push > Enumerating objects: 5, done. > Counting objects: 100% (5/5), done. > Delta compression using up to 4 threads > Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done. > Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 466 bytes | 466.00 KiB/s, done. > Total 3 (delta 2), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0 I think the commit is done when we see "Writing objects: 100%" in the above. And then after that it prints information. In the above I see the Total line but it has not emitted the verbose printing of what commit hashes were before and after. > and the shell command hangs indefinitely.

For the command above, the push actually worked (the commit landed on > Savannah) even though the 'git push' command was hanging indefinitely. I don't know why that might be happening. And the system has not seemed to be overloaded. > I'm seeing this at both home and work, so it's not my local network (though > it could be a Los Angeles thing). > For this repository, 'git config -l' reports: All of that looks normal to me. Certain things are client local of course. But as far as anything that would interact with the server side of git I didn't notice anything. As a committer you are using ssh to the system. One of the possible sources of issue might be the ssh interaction to the sshd. The above looks like it was done but just not closing and exiting. In which case I suggest examining your ssh config and seeing if anything there might stand out. I know you said this has been happening from multiple locations. But I also know configuration might be shared. For example ControlMaster et al configuration with a forgotten port forwarding or something. That should be disabled on the server side so I don't think that is it here. But as an for example of something client side that might be causing trouble. I don't know if turning on ssh verbose would cause problems with git or not. But that might be an interesting experiment to try. Then see if there is a difference between a working case and a hanging case. It will be interesting if other's on the users list are also seeing this problem too. Thank you for reporting the issue. I am sorry I don't have a better debug recipe. Bob
