Unable to clone a bitbucket git repo

Brian Hall3

I'm having trouble cloning from a git repo on bitbucket. It is set up to use SSH, which I believe I have set up properly. It doesn't matter if I manually fill out the add repo dialog, or use the one automatically created for me when I click on the "clone with sourcetree" button on the bitbucket interface. The Process starts, the folder for the repo is created, but then nothing happens. I open up the additional log area on the progress dialog, and only the git command is shown, there is no error feedback or anything else.

I would expect that if I had the SSH set up incorrectly, that I would be unable to connect at all and would get an invalid public key error or something along those lines, but I get nothing.

What could be going on?

Thanks!

As it turns out, the git repo was quite large, and all it took was waiting a very long time. After about an hour and a half, it finished with "prercent complete" updates over the course of a minute.... so the feedback on the fetch progress could be better, but it did end up working.
