(adding infra)

its not the previous problem all fedoraproject users had, due to 
fedoraproject changing their infra one night out of the blue.

before strarting to troubleshoot, tried service gerrit restart.
now works for einav.

lets hope doesn't become too recurrent.

since we are on a patched 2.4, and 2.5.2 seems to have bug fixes 
relevant to us, and since 2.6 is in rc (and has items in release notes 
which read "42x improvement on git clone and git fetch"), I'll look into 
upgrading into 2.5.2 in coming weeks.

the main difference in upgrade to 2.5.2 is the git mirroring to github 
is no longer part of gerrit, rather a plugin. so post the upgrade it 
will stop, then I'll activate it later on (divide and conquer).

if anyone has any thoughts/concerns, please raise them.
I'll most likely look into doing the upgrade on some sunday evening - it 
should take a few minutes of downtime (and i backup the VM fully before).

thanks,
