I have two machines (Fedora 14  / Fedora 15)  both reverted
0a99563a4ea270594fd9a61da46f9387fb79dc66 and both worked fine during
weekend.

Just a guess: Last week when arago git was down I saw errors during
parsing for a recipe I never used. This was with a revision of bitbake
a bit earlier than HEAD - that caused me to update. After sending a
message to meta-ti I could work during weekend. Now it seems arago is
down again:

$ git clone git://arago-project.org/git/projects/u-boot-keystone.git
Cloning into u-boot-keystone...
fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer

and bitbake -DD gives

In the recipe u-boot_2013.01.bb I find SRCREV = "DEV.MCSDK-03.00.00.07"

which is not a commit ID and causes a git ls-remote during parse

Is it possible that this error occurs when a git SRC_URI server closes
connection unexpected?
