This is an issue seen mainly with origin using an ssh url.
See for instance issue 1880:
It looks like our gerrit server is not respecting the SSH protocol properly.
There was a change in putty/plink 0.63 where they do some ssh winadj commands.
They are expecting a reply response from ssh but it never gets sent. Therefore the plink simply waits until it gets these reply responses.It's possible that the latest gerrit server has a fix although I didn't see any note of that on their release notes. Putty has a workaround though:
- Run putty for windows 0.63.
- Click on "
Default Settings
" in theSaved Sessions
. ClickLoad
,- Go to
Connection -> SSH -> Bugs
- Set "
Chokes on PuTTY's SSH-2 'winadj' requests
" toOn
(instead ofAuto
)- Go Back to Session in the treeview (top of the list)
- Click on "
Default Settings
" in theSaved Sessions
box. Click Save.Now that bug setting will be saved for all running instances of plink/putty and including tortoisegitPlink.
