504 errors from cgit-beta

[David Wolfskill]

I don't have a solution; indeed: I am not seeing the issue, but thought
that comparing notes might have some value....

I only update nightly (in two passes), hitting src, ports, and doc.
FWIW, the local repos are "mirror clones" (vs. clones that have/are
working directories); I doubt that's significant, but I could easily be
quite wrong about that.

Anyway, here are the latest status lines from my log:

I have not changed mine since 16 Oct 2020; it's documented in
http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/repo-sync.html (in case that's
useful or interesting).

(That said, I'm not actually trying to use the got repo for anything but
to verify that syncing works; I still use svn for my real FreeBSD
src.ports/doc syncing.)
