Hi guys, 

i'm actually experiencing a strange problem. We have a git repo built on a TFS server, the checkout works without problems but we did a git polling procedure to automatically check for new tags.

When we push the tag we got

> git config --local credential.helper store --file=/tmp/git2674246502934019511.credentials # timeout=10

Setting http proxy: zrh-srv-b-cfm10.beta.local:3128

 > git -c core.askpass=true fetch --tags --progress http://server/tfs/frontendcomponents/_git/static-server +refs/tags/*:refs/remotes/origin/tags/*

 > git config --local --remove-section credential # timeout=10

ERROR: Error fetching remote repo 'origin'

but if we retrigger the job again it will work. So to be super clear the command always fails the first time but it succeed at the second time.

i also tried to update git (current is 1.8 on the jenkins server) to newer version but with 2.4 we got a "401 remote hangs up unexpectedly" error that is kind of weird.

the issue is sometimes reproducible from the server command line but e.g. from my mac the issue is not reproducible (git version 2.3)

Any idea?

Hi,

I had a problem that looks almost exactly like yours, but for me updating git solved it. The machine was running Ubuntu 12.04 and I added https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ubuntu/ppa , updated, and all ok after that.

Good luck!
