Mercurial push error

[Norman Walsh]

I have a mercurial repository that I've been using for a while.
Everything seemed to work fine. Then I made a bunch of edits and
issued a push. The push took tens of minutes if not an hour or more
and finally failed:

~$ hg --verbose push
running ssh user at password "hg -R repository/path/name serve --stdio"
pushing to ssh://user@password/repository/path/name

Clues, please?

I'm running mercurial 0.9.3-2 and Python 2.5.1-0ubunut1 from Ubuntu
Feisty.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
