Does anybody know what's up with the git server? Hopefully it's just my connection...

No, this is the result of a serious problem with gitweb.

We run gitweb behind a cache (otherwise it would be unacceptably expensive), but when httpd starts timing out on gitweb, it spawns gitweb over and over and over again, and the load on the machine skyrockets, throttling other services.

This happens every time we're on one server instead of two (one server is down right now for network rewiring.)

I think for now I'm just going to put a loadavg cap on running gitweb...
