It seems to be working now. I'm afraid going to close this bug
without doing much else.
In the future, a DSA ticket is probably more helpful. I don't think
DSA are aware of the frequency of these problems.
As a workaround, when this happens, "dgit --for-push clone" is
very likely to work, since it goes to the underlying git server via
ssh, rather than the public mirror via the git protocol.
I guess we could change dgit to suggest filing a DSA ticket...
Sorry,
Ian.
