I had this same problem today and we changed the MTU to 1500 on the
remote server we were trying to connect to and everything worked
straight afterwards. I was trying to do a simple git clone
user@domain:group/repo.git.

>From the local server I was connecting from to do the clone it would
always hang at debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent and then time out.
