Ok, so now I know.  upload.py can upload multiple files in parallel, and
it defaults to -j 8.  Issue 4841 consisted of a single file and so did
not exercise that possibility.

I changed the default in git-cl (yes, a bad idea to edit the file
directly) to -j 1, and it worked.  Apparently the multithreading upload
(or whatever it was) broke in Ubuntu 16.04 (or in connection with a
recent change of DSL router here but I have no idea how that could have
this effect) and switching off the multithreading did fix this.
