title: Git clone from remote repo hangs after Compressing Objects 100% done
body: <p>I work in Windows 7, 64-bit.</p>
  
  <p>I want to check out source code from a private git repo which I am connected to by OpenVPN.</p>
  
  <p>I connected to a private server via OpenVPN for Windows. The connection is established and works fine, I can <code>ping</code> the server and connect via SSH to it.</p>
  
  <p>Next, I want to clone the git repository via </p>
  
  <pre><code> git clone http://username:pw@url/folder
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Bash shows immediately</p>
  
  <pre><code>Cloning into "projektname"
  remote: Counting Objects: 6772, done
  remote: Compressing Objects: 100% (6389/6389),done
  _
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then hangs, no error, no clue what happens, I can cut the VPN connection to get a response from git or press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd> but nothing else.</p>
  
  <p>git created a folder <code>projektname</code> but it is empty except for the <code>.git</code> folder.</p>
  
  <p>I looked through forum posts for several hours, but haven't found a similar post with the same problem. I tried to get more information on git with</p>
  
  <pre><code> GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 GIT_TRACE=1 git clone ....
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but didn't find anything suspicious. I am thankful for any ideas about what else I can try or where I have to look into. I tried several different git clients (cygwin, Tortoise, git bash, git gui).</p>
