The Linaro git appear to be getting some very suspicious traffic on our git protocol port. Its causing our servers to fail and effectively DOS us. We are currently trying to block offending IPs. However, the number of malicious IPs is growing and we may have to shut off the git protocol daemon on our servers while we find a way to prevent this.
If you are using the "smart" protocol, https://git.linaro.org/.... you will not be affected. If you aren't using the smart protocol, it might be a good time to consider updating your .git/config files.
