It means the server is busy creating a packfile to send over the wire. If you pack the repository before cloning from it, deltas from the packfile will simply be copied into the new pack. This will provide a huge speedboost, so make sure to repack the repository on the server every once in a while.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
