[Savannah-hackers-public] mail-sending error from git server updating emacs "concurrency" branch

[Ken Raeburn]

I got this error back from the git server while pushing an update to the 
“concurrency” branch of emacs:

This was Sunday morning, around 1:42AM EDT (not EST). The email did go out, and 
it was a pretty large message, as this was merging over two years’ worth of 
changes from master to the concurrency branch.

Around the same time, from a different client machine, “git remote update” got 
a “Connection reset by peer” error. A later attempt worked fine.
