title: Rails "script/plugin" install http://github.com...git hangs on 'git pull'
body: <p>Whenever I run the <strong>rails</strong> script/plugin install to install a plugin using git, from github it "hangs".</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ script/plugin -v install http://github.com/ryanstout/blog_kit.git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It "hangs". the -v gives me the following output: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Plugins will be installed using http
  git init
  Initialized empty Git repository in /home/XXX/vendor/plugins/blog_kit/.git/
  git pull --depth 1 http://github.com/ryanstout/blog_kit.git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and that is where it hangs. ('XXX' is edited by me in this outout)</p>
  
  <p>When I break off that command, with <em>^C</em>, and run 'git pull --depth 1 ...  by hand, it hangs too. </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I can clone that repository just fine: network seems not the problem.</li>
  <li>git is in my path.</li>
  <li>when running rails -g foo, I get a lot of errors about the directory not being under git. Probably related. </li>
  <li><p>'lsof -i | grep github' shows the following:</p>
  
  <p>git-remot 11710  ber    8u  IPv4 182786      0t0  TCP yasmine.fritz.box:42324->github.com:www (CLOSE_WAIT)
  git-remot 11710  ber    9u  IPv4 182798      0t0  TCP yasmine.fritz.box:42325->github.com:www (CLOSE_WAIT) 
  git       11712  ber    8u  IPv4 182786      0t0  TCP yasmine.fritz.box:42324->github.com:www (CLOSE_WAIT)</p>
  
  <p>so it appears there actually is a connection, but nothing gets pulled in.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Any ideas what I can do to dive deeper into this issue? Did I miss some README? </p>
