Several developers on my team are experiencing an occasional failure during push. A subsequent push executed immediately afterward the failure will work fine. We are a small team of developers (about 10) and only a couple users seem to experience this and then only intermittently (every few days). This is happening on a LAN environment with otherwise reliable connectivity. We have some hook scripts for post-update and update configured within the repo.
the server has git version 1.7.3.3 installed $ cat /etc/issue CentOS release 5.5 (Final) Kernel \r on an \m $ uname -a Linux core1.example.com 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Nov 9 12:54:20 EST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Here is some output from one of the users during two sequential runs of `git push -v`. This user is git version 1.7.3.1.msysgit.0 (though similar behavior has been seen by another user with version 1.7.0.4 on ubuntu 10.04 LTS)

Anyone know what could be causing this and, just as important, how to debug it and issues like it in the future? Thanks for any help/insight which can be offered. --Jeff
