git-1.5.0.3-1.i386 rpm from Junio's repository on kernel.org:
Since we got the new git server on kernel.org, we are having a problem with git-upload-pack processes getting reparented to init, and then sitting there forever. Going in with gdb, it appears the "timeout" variable gets overwritten:
(gdb) p timeout $1 = 608471321
... which should have been 600.
The process spends effectively forever waiting in on the fflush() in show_commit() (in upload-pack.c); /proc/*/fd shows it is trying to write to a pipe, but I'm not sure what is at the other end of that same pipe.
