I've bugged them in the past and they have amended their "limits" once, and given up the next time. I'm curious about the "shallow-info" appearing in your logs though. https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Environment-Variables There's extensive debugging for git, and for HTTP, you could try `GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1` and see if that helps identify problems. I've previously seen gateway errors when the remote git server takes too long to prepare whatever packfile it needs to send me. I'm murky on git internals so I don't really understand what it's failing on. Generally, I only cloned a single branch, and fetch main, which seems to have removed issues for me, but I do this at least 1x/week. My freebsd remote is called upstream. # fetch a single branch instead of all branches git fetch upstream main # my snippet from /usr/ports/.git/config [remote "upstream"] url = https://git.freebsd.org/ports.git fetch = +refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/upstream/main fetch = +refs/notes/*:refs/notes/* pushurl = ssh://git@gitrepo.freebsd.org/ports.git [branch "upstream"] remote = upstream merge = refs/heads/main If, for some reason, you really need to do a from-scratch clone every time, it might be simpler to have a personal mirror of just the /main/ branch on github or similar, and avoid pulling the whole lot from the mirrors each time. You can also put `git fetch <remote> <branch>` into a crontab and let it catch up daily and with less to fetch. A+ Dave
