@Albert: It is not any more informative … :-)

Tara:/kdedev/games/kjumpingcube>GIT_TRACE=true
Tara:/kdedev/games/kjumpingcube>export GIT_TRACE
Tara:/kdedev/games/kjumpingcube>git push origin master
trace: built-in: git 'push' 'origin' 'master'
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

@Wolfgang:
Tara:/kdedev/games/kjumpingcube>git --version
trace: built-in: git 'version'
git version 1.7.5.4

If it is an authentication failure, I don't see how it could be caused while
I slept on Saturday night, unless something in the host changed …

Tara:~>git ls-remote git at git.kde.org:/kjumpingcube
works OK, so I think I can at least connect and "log in" to the repo.

One of my tries, out of 20 or so, did come up with a message about
not being able to access anongit.  And the IP address was for "mason",
which is one host (out of the four anongit hosts) that does not like
Australia for some reason.  Sysadmin put me onto that info.

I don't know why anongit would get involved in a "git push", but I doubt
if "mason" is always involved when "git push" fails for me. I can never
access "mason" and I dread the days when it is "on duty", but anongit
is a bit like Russian roulette for me - I have a 0.75 chance of success … ;-)
Can we go back to SVN now … ?  … :-)

Cheers, Ian W.

P.S. This is my ~/.gitconfig setup.
