I succeeded once with a manual

   git clone --depth 2 git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib.git

then failed six times in a row with depth two or one,
finally giving up on it. Trying without a depth option,
the cloning grinds to a halt after resolving 51% (49800).
this repeats itself tree times, cuasing full CPU load.
I even tried downgrading to git-1.7.2.3 with some manual
package intervention that followed suite. No success.

In the only successful case I have never before observed
such timedelay until the cloning could even begin.
The past half a year that step was immediate.

The lucky case above will be my base from now on. Thank you.
