[poky] do_fetch error with gcc-cross-initial_4.7

[Florin]

Hi all,
using today's poky master branch, sha 
603f6c631e9454d10517599e229943f2b26d08a5 , I get an error when fetching 
gcc.

I first get this warning:

WARNING: Failed to fetch URL 
git://github.com/mirrors/gcc.git;branch=gcc-4_7-branch;protocol=git, 
attempting MIRRORS if available


Then it stays stuck at fetching for a while and ends up with:

git clone --bare --mirror git://github.com/mirrors/gcc.git 
/home/me/poky/build/downloads/git2/github.com.mirrors.gcc.git failed 
with exit code 128, output:
STDOUT: Cloning into bare repository 
/home/me/poky/build/downloads/git2/github.com.mirrors.gcc.git...

STDERR: fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

ERROR: Function failed: Fetcher failure for URL: 
'git://github.com/mirrors/gcc.git;branch=gcc-4_7-branch;protocol=git'. 
Unable to fetch URL from any source.


After the build stops with this error, retrying the bitbake command to 
produce the rootfs fetches gcc successfully and gcc (and the rest of the 
packages) is compiled just fine.
Is there anybody else seeing this behavior?

Thank you,
Florin
