People with slower connections are having problems cloning my repository. The server seems to just drop the connection. This repository is about 300 MB. The server is using git 1.6.1. This is using an ssh URL. They've tried many times and it usually dies at different places in the clone (5%, 80%, etc., with one successful clone so far for them).

remote: Counting objects: 121290, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (82778/82778), done. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly62.14 MiB | 147 KiB/s fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed

Are there any known issues with git 1.6.1 that might cause this? I can try to get the server updated to 1.6.2.3, but I was curious if anyone knew of any specific issues like this. The server is running Mac OS X, if that matters.
