Problem updating git-core

[Thomas Lockhart]

Has anyone else noticed a problem fetching the git tarball from 
kernel.org? I can do so successfully through my browser but it stalls 
with a zero-length .TMP file when trying to update the port. The update 
was prompted by running "selfupdate" then "upgrade outdated".

I was hoping it was some misbehavior of kernel.org but this has been 
trouble for a couple of days now. Any suggestions for debugging this?

TIA
