I usually stop it by killing the only current invocation of git-http-fetch. It leaves only an empty ./u-boot-91/.git/clone-tmp, though it does create other directories in .git temporarily.
This problem has been repeatable for nearly the past 2 hours.
I did a clone of the same git repository without any problems earlier today, except it wouldn't build properly.
Any suggestions about what is wrong with the clone attempt and what can be done to fix it?
Thanks,
Ken Fuchs
