Mavericks buildbot buildslave hangs fetching from git

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The new Mavericks buildbot buildslave hangs when trying to fetch a port that fetches using the git protocol (port 9418, I believe), e.g. the VLC-devel port which tries to fetch from ​git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git. The buildbot cancels the build after a timeout. This is bad when the build was supposed to include ports other than the problem port, since many of those other ports then don't get built at all.

For example in r115019 I increased the revision of all 267 ports linking with libpng to rebuild them following the update to libpng 1.6.x, unfortunately VLC-devel was the second port it tried to build, so it gave up without rebuilding most of the other 265 ports: ​https://build.macports.org/builders/buildports-mavericks-x86_64/builds/353

The other buildslaves seem to be able to fetch using the git protocol. It would be nice if the Mavericks buildslave could too.

Shree, are we missing a git ACL on the new slave?

Want to make sure if this is still an issue on Mavericks and Yosemite ?

I agree, this got fixed.
