I still face the same issue which happens on android-build with this command:
repo init -u http://android.git.linaro.org/git-ro/platform/manifest.git -b linaro_android_4.2.2 -m default.xml --repo-url=http://android.git.linaro.org/git-ro/tools/repo

Get http://android.git.linaro.org/git-ro/tools/repo/clone.bundle

fatal: branch 'stable' has not been signed

Reprod info for the issue I see:

$ time git clone git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/manifest.git
[]
real 0m7.706s

$ time git clone http://android.git.linaro.org/git-ro/platform/manifest.git

I'm getting no problems now, thanks.

I had already synced up my local system using the git protocol, so I
restored my Android directory from my Friday backup and did a repo sync.
Dozens of git directories were updated by http:// URLs without any
issues.

Hello Jon,

We had some issues with the git server regarding the git-ro directory. I have made a similar change to the apache config which hopefully is linked to your problem.

Can you try again and let us know if you are still getting problems?

Thanks

Ben

All in all, I can confirm that there're issues with http:// access on android.git.linaro.org after migration - plain repo init takes very long, and I see errors like:

error: Unable to get pack index http://android.git.linaro.org/git-ro/platform/manifest.git/objects/pack/pack-55bb9d9172b2bb8fce748cc3507b6bf3e47f07fd.idx

(Those are non-deterministic, re-trying them manually works.)

Oops, yes. I didn't read the bug, sorry. I jumped to conclusions after
seeing Vishal and Bero's emails appeared at about the same time.

I didn't raise a bug as I had a workaround and I assumed if it was a
widespread problem then it would get sorted out eventually.

If my memory serves me right, it wasn't long after this I noticed my
problems, which is why it occurred to me to change the URLs in the
manifests back to the old git:// (They'll get restored to http when the
manifests are changed, which is why I notice it as a continuing
problem.)

I perhaps only do a repo sync a couple of times a month as I don't
really work much on Android, which is perhaps why a) I see this problem?
b) I've not been motivated to get to the bottom of it.

This is different issue from one report by Vishal.

Move to HTTP happened last couple of days during LCA13 in Hong Kong, do
you want to say that you experienced the error as quoted above since
then? Was it reported to some bug/ticket? (Do you have a reference?)

The situation known to me is:

1. After flipping the switch in HK, git:// became unstable (because it
was throttled to stop wasting resources as it always did). It took some
time to migrate everyone to http://.
2. http:// was stable since then, until migration of git.linaro.org
happened weekened May 11.
3. Immediately after migration, there were issues with
http://git.linaro.org which manifested pretty much like the error
above. It was resolved Mon/Tue last week.
4. Friday GMT evening, android.git.linaro.org was migrated to new
setup. Initial builds seem to have gone ok. Detailed status is not
known (your telling that error above was received after May 17,
17:00GMT would help).
5. Additionally, today issue reported by Vishal popped up.

All in all, git issues now should be cc: to its@linaro.org (added), ITS
guys are now the owners of new infrastructure, and can resolve issues
pretty well (p.3 was resolved by them).

This may work as a personal workaround, but won't scale to official
manifests - we need to get http:// working right.
