Problem with git on windows ... pushes don't complete/timeout

Git works fine on my dev box, but ever so often, I'll go to push something to the repository and it will go through the motions like its actually pushing, but then it will get stuck like this

$ git push origin master

Counting objects: 9, done.

Delta compression using up to 2 threads.

Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done.

Writing objects: 100% (5/5), 544 bytes, done.

Total 5 (delta 3), reused 0 (delta 0)

...

...

It will just sit here for a couple of minutes then spit out this error.

Read from remote host xxxx.com: Connection reset by peer

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Restarting my computer or coming back and trying it hours late开发者_如何转开发r usually works. It really ruins my workflow though.

Any ideas?

Connection reset by peer means that the connection to the other side unexpectedly died.

There is a network problem between your computer and example.com or the GIT server is unstable for some reason. Check the logs and try to ping the server.
