Problem cloning blink repository

[Mark Priest]

Hi.  I am trying to get the source for blink.  I am using gclient sync in depot_tools.  I have tried to run the command dozens of times on different networks and it always fails with:

1>fatal: early EOF

1>fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

1>fatal: index-pack failed

1>error: RPC failed; result=56, HTTP code = 200

Error: Command git clone --progress -b master https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git C:\chromium\blink\src returned non-zero exit status 128 in C:\chromium\blink

I tried bumping up my http post buffer with  git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000 but this does not help.

It appears to be a server-side problem like that discussed in https://code.google.com/p/git-repo/issues/detail?id=75

Has anyone had success with this?

Thanks,

Mark

I was finally able to get this to work through persistence.  I just kept trying and eventually it worked.  I guess git is pretty sensitive to network quality.
