Observed Blocking Issue with Git for Windows

Several developers and quality assurance specialists have been reporting an inability to pull content from the 'base' repository and in some cases other repositories as well. After investigation we've determined that the issue comes from a bad release of 'git for windows'.

The observed behavior in CET Developer/Operator is a pull that never completes. When performing a pull manually via git bash or other git client, the operation will stall while downloading objects from the server and never recover.

If you wish to verify that you are using the affected version of git, you can pull up git bash from operator and enter the command git --version. This will output the current version of 'git for windows' that you are using. If you are on either 2.50.0 or 2.50.0(1), then you are on the affected versions.

Solution

A corrected version of git has already been shipped, but the automatic update cycle is a bit unpredictable. To force the update manually, open git bash and enter the command git update-git-for-windows to force the update.

So far, this solution has corrected the issue for all reported cases.
