I've been seeing several reports lately, from different users on various Linux platforms, with the same basic bug report

* "git:// clone of linus's repo times out after 10 minutes"
* someone says, "use rsync:// for the initial clone"
* "it works, thanks!"

People seems to note that this behavior only started recently. I wonder if linux-2.6.git crossed some sort of size threshold that's too much for kernel.org CPU load to bear? I wonder if git-clone is attempting to delta-ify, when it really should just be sending the objects in bulk?
