git-clone error with mobin.org/repos while using rsync server

[Dennis.Yxun]

i've been trying so hard to clone down the moblin git tree (kernel-mid-2.6.24, and others)
but with no luck, the clone process was always been interrupted.
I was first use http method, this was easily fail due to my poor network.
So, i switch to sync protocol, still the same.

here is my command and error output:

since git use rsync as backend,
and it's safe to ignore the packed-refs
so the quick fix would be as below:

rsync -av --ignore-existing --exclude info --exclude packed-refs \
  rsync://moblin.org/repos/projects/kernel-mid-2.6.24.git kernel-mid-2.6.24/.git

i may close the bug, it's not due to moblin, but the git is not smart enough
