Try again? Perhaps github hiccups. I checked, and the repository still exists:
https://github.com/jbalogh/django-cache-machine

Yeah, it took 25 attempts, but finally pulled successfully.  It hung up the first few times on django-cache-machine so I assumed that was the error.  Then it started hanging on other modules.  Anyhoo...

Did it ever hang?  What box was this on?  Did you do any other investigation as to the cause?  Has it happened before?  Has it happened with other repositories?  Were they on github?

This particular instance was from my laptop.  Git dropped connection on various modules that are hosted on github, including django-cache-machine, django-nose, django-cronjobs, django-mozilla-product-details, and commonware.

Yes, I've seen this before, and I know others have had problems with dropped connections.  But I don't think anyone has looked into the issue.

FWIW, sometimes our staging-update cron jobs error out with a similar error but recover on their next run, so I always attributed that to temporary problems somewhere between here and github.
