SSH access broken every now and then
Hi,
we have some repositories hosted on gitlab.com.
With ssh git@gitlab.com:... access we sometimes get this error
build: packet_write_wait: Connection to 35.231.145.151 port 22: Broken pipe build: fatal: Could not read from remote repository. build: build: Please make sure you have the correct access rights build: and the repository exists.
when accessing repository (pull, for instance). This happens every now and then (it feels like it's too often, but we don't have any statistics) and after a couple of minutes it works again.
There have been similar reports but ususally these were complete malfunction of the site. In general those reports are closed as soon as the site works again. But this is actually a regular issue.
As long as it happens in interactive work we could retry, but unfortunately it happens too often in automated CI builds. https seems to work better, but we use deploy keys, so it's not really an option.
