Repo clone stalling at niu-x2 about pelican-themes

[flavio-fernandes]

I'm hitting the same issue. Is there a work around?

[flavio-fernandes]

This is how I worked around this issue. Its ugly, but it did work:

$ git clone https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-themes
$ cd pelican-themes
$ git clone [email protected]:mawenbao/niu-x2.git niu-x2
$ git submodule update --init --recursive

For complete output, see:

Will git clone --recursive https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-themes work?

[flavio-fernandes]

Interesting you ask....

When I use my mac, it works fine. When I use my Centos 6.5 VM I'm not as
lucky.... maybe something to do with the
git version. :/

** Works:
$ git --version
git version 1.8.5.2 (Apple Git-48)

** Does not work:
$ git --version
git version 1.7.1
$ uname -a
Linux blog2.localdomain 2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 7
23:32:49 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This is really strange. Never seen that before. Maybe you can use the strace command to see what is git doing when it's stalling.

# get the pid of git first
ps aux | grep git | grep -v grep
strace -p ${pid of git}

not sure if this will help, but here it is:

$ for x in strace.*.txt ; do echo $x ; cat $x ; echo ; done
strace.3830.txt
wait4(3836, <unfinished ...>

It seemed that one of the git child processes was trying to read something from the standard input. Don't know why. Besides, I checked the .submodules file of pelican-themes, and niu-x2 is the only submodule with a http url.

I'm having the same problem. Any suggestion?

$ git --version
git version 2.1.0
$ uname -a
NetBSD iceland 6.1_STABLE NetBSD 6.1_STABLE (GENERIC) #0: *** amd64
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-themes
[ some output telling it cloned everything OK ]
Initialized empty Git repository in ./pelican-themes/niu-x2/.git/

It hang here. There is something with the "niu-x2" repo that it doesn't like.

$ git clone [email protected]:mawenbao/niu-x2.git niu-x2

chr: yes. Update your git, if you can. I noticed that if I used Centos 6.5 with git 1.7.1 it did not work.

[chr]

@flavio-fernandes Thanks! In my previous post I actually messed up things: with git version 2.1.0 on the NetBSD machine it works fine. The problem I was having was on a CentOS machine which has git version 1.7.1: I'll ask the sysadmin to upgrade git.
