One issue that's been seen is adding this remote to an existing repo:
$ git remote add cgit-beta https://cgit-beta.freebsd.org/ports.git
$ git fetch cgit-beta
error: RPC failed; HTTP 413 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 413
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
413 is Payload too large
This is because when you fetch, you're telling the other end what hashes
you have and it's figuring out what to send you, and that list is too
large, over 10m, I guess:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7489813/github-push-error-rpc-failed-result-22-http-code-413#15021750
It's unclear if there's a way to tell the client to skip that and just
fetch everything or if it's required to change the upload limit on the
web server and if so how large would be appropriate/required.
Note fresh clone works fine.
