Thanks for following up. I hadn't had a chance to look at your strace output until today, and now you have saved me the trouble. :)

So I think we can rule out a git bug at this point. I would say it is an issue with network settings, but it sounds like you reproduced it while sshing to the local host (though depending on your setup, you might still be able to trigger firewall rules in that case, which could have an impact).

At this point, I'd try upgrading ssh if possible, and otherwise submit a bug report to the ssh vendor (either your distro, or openssh directly if you can reproduce it on pristine source).
