[bitbake-devel] is there a reason a bitbake "git" clone will hang while regular git works?

since the git fetcher code is part of bitbake, i figured i'd ask
here. on more than one occasion now, when i've configured a build and
start fetching, the git fetch of the corresponding kernel source will
simply hang.
for example, right now, i'm fetching for a dm814x-evm (using the
meta-ti layer), and the dir under git2 in the downloads directory
currently looks like this:
$ du -s *
4 branches
4 config
4 description
4 HEAD
40 hooks
8 info
12 objects
12 refs
$
and it hasn't changed for well over 10 minutes. the relevant part of
the recipe file:
SRC_URI +=
"git://arago-project.org/git/projects/linux-omap3.git;protocol=git;branch=ti81xx-master \
file://0001-ti814x-added-code-for-disabling-the-least-significan.patch \
file://defconfig"
however, as a test that git was still working properly, i simply
started a git clone of that SRC_URI and it's chugging away as i type.
and this has happened before -- that is, while the bitbake fetch/git
clone hangs almost immediately, i can generally use "git clone" from
the command line for that SRC_URI no problem.
does that even make sense? are the git options being used by
bitbake perhaps causing this?
