I thought I had imagined this last time, but now that it has happened twice, I'm not so sure what is going on. First pull attempt garners an unexpected EOF message; immediately pull again seems to work.

Some state:

jdl@ubuntu:/usr/src/git-core$ git --version git version 0.99.9j

jdl@ubuntu:/usr/src/git-core$ cat .git/remotes/origin
URL: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/
Pull: master:origin
Pull: todo:todo
Pull: maint:maint
Pull: pu:pu

And the error capture:

jdl@ubuntu:/usr/src/git-core$ git pull origin
fatal: unexpected EOF
Fetch failure: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/
jdl@ubuntu:/usr/src/git-core$ git pull origin
