Re: net/gitup began to fail

This is happening to me too, and others. Here are some links I've been 
checking regarding it:

FreeBSD Forums: gitup: process_command: read failure 
<https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/gitup-process_command-read-failure.102614/>
Bugzilla: 295065 
<https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=295065>, 295066 
<https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=295066>, and 295067 
<https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=295065>
FreeBSD Hackers mailing list: gitup failure 
<https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2026-May/006223.html>

The FreeBSD Hackers link is to the top email in the thread. 
Unfortunately I don't know see any way to easily navigate a thread 
(like, I don't see a "Next in Thread" link). I've been occasionally 
checking the May 2026 by-thread archive 
<https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2026-May/index.html> and 
just manually checking the links to individual messages in the thread.

I don't really understand why there are three separate Bugzilla reports. 
They're all by the same person, who is also the person who started the 
thread in the FreeBSD Hackers mailing list. He gave an explanation in 
the FreeBSD Forums thread, but it was pretty terse and I get the feeling 
that I might have misinterpreted it.

To be clear, there is currently (well, last I checked) nothing in any of 
these things I linked to that seems particularly useful in a direct way 
to end users who are having the issue; just reports that it's happening. 
But I imagine that eventually something will get to one or more of these.
