This is also failing for me.
To debug, I edited the autogen.sh script to run bootstrap with
"/bin/sh -xv" so I could find exactly what was hanging. It stopped at
the command
git clone --depth 2 git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib gnulib
I don't know why it is hanging, but omitting the "--depth 2" argument
allows it to work for me.
The quick workaround is to just run
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib gnulib
in your top-level Octave source directory, then run the ./autogen.sh
script.
