Git clone never ends

Question

I am trying to use a git clone on Mac OS Snow Leopard. All I do is "git clone https: //*/project.git" from the doc / project directory. For some reason, the operation never ends and stops at random points somewhere at the “Receive Files:” stage (each time every% of the files being copied). Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

I usually saw this symptom in repositories with a “resource lock” problem due to some processes storing a handle in one of the git files.

The last time was for git repo directly part of the Dropbox shared directory. (That's why I always recommend sharing in the Dropbox folder only with the package, and not with the git repo structure itself )
