I also managed to run into the intermittent hanging of git-fetch when running t5510. What I do is keep running the test till it stalls:

  while [ $? -eq 0 ]; do date; ./t5510-fetch.sh -i -v; done

Almost always the git-fetch output looks like this:

  remote: Counting objects: 7, done.
  remote: Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done.
  remote: Total 6 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0)

However my task manager indicates that git-upload-pack or whatever that runs on the remote side is absent, only git-fetch is waiting - 0 I/O, 0 cswitches, nilda. I tried getting a gdb backtrace but I get ??? nonsense, despite having compiled git with `-g -O0`. I also noticed there were a couple of threads. This is my gdb session:
