I am not doing well with git cloning either ports or src. I apparently downloaded all the source code, but git is frozen at the last step. I
don't have my shell back and I don't see any files in /usr/src.

Here's my first attempt:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# git clone -o freebsd https://git.FreeBSD.org/src.git /usr/src
Cloning into '/usr/src'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 4477011, done.

Checking objects: 100% (16777216/16777216), done.

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I then gave up and pressed C-c.

I tried a second time, but also trying to clone ports in parallel. Both terminated at the same time with the message:

My download rate begins megabytes per second, but then it lowers to KiB
per second and at this run, I got ``invalid index-pack''. Am I having
network problems? This is the cheapest virtual machine in AWS.

The speed began high---27 MiB/s---, but then it fell, stalled and ended
with this error.

Let me run it again so you can have a notion of how long it takes.

Sorry. This seems to have nothing to do with FreeBSD. I believe I
can't clone any large repository.

But I can do just fine with small ones.

That looks wrong!

Depending on what you intent to do with it, a shallow clone of a
specific branch might be enough and will be much smaller than the entire
src. Something like:
git clone -b stable/14 --depth 1 https://git.freebsd.org/src.git /usr/src

That worked well. I don't need the full repository. I just want to
read the current source code. It turns out I was able to clone the
whole thing, but I had to upgrade the AWS virtual machine from the $3.5
one to the $10 one. (I did not try the $5 one.) There must be
resource-quotas that somehow did not let the cloning take place. I
don't know how it works. Thanks very much.
