Have you narrowed down whether this is a git client problem,                    
                                                                                
      
or a server problem (gerrit in your case).  Is this a                           
                                                                                
      
repeatable issue.  Try the same operation against a clone of                    
                                                                                
      
the repo using just git.  Check on the server side for .noz                     
                                                                                
      
files in you repo (a jgit thing),

This happens both using gerrit and using git directly...                        
                                                                                
      
                                                                                
                                                                                
      
My thought is more that git doesn't handle dodgy connections over               
                                                                                
      
openvpn (udp) that goes over dodgy international vpn links.                     
                                                                                
      
                                                                                
                                                                                
      
I conclusion has always been that it ends up in a unpredictable state,          
                                                                                
      
like a blocking read or so that just doesn't timeout... If it was a pipe        
                                                                                
      
and not a socket then it'd always return... eventhough even a socket            
                                                                                
      
should timeout i have seen processes left like this for weeks.                  
                                                                                
      
                                                                                
                                                                                
      
There was no .noz files on the master or the slave server.
