Remote hung up during `git fetch`

Hi everyone,

I want to build packages for snap shoot of different branches from different remote git repositories in the same local directory (so that I don't need to recompile everything everytime.) and I am using a combination of `git clone/checkout/reset/fetch` to do that. However, during git-fetch, the remote sometimes stop responding or simply reset the connection. This happens occasionally at least for both ssh and git protocol (not sure about http/https) on github, bitbucket and also kernel.org so I think it is probably not due to a weird behavior of a certain host. Does anyone know the reason or is there anything I have done wrong? And is there a better way to set the local tree to a certain branch at a certain url? THX

My git version is ArchLinux package 1.8.0-1. (timezone America/New_York in case the time stamp somehow matters)

Here is a script that always triggers the issue (at least now) and it's output. (No I am not trying to merge git and the kernel... These are just random public repos on kernel.org that can trigger the issue. Although I am pulling from two repos from different project here, the same thing can also happen on other hosts when the two repos are actually the same project)
