Deploy never completes

[complexanomaly]

I've followed the exact instructions in the README but the deployment always hangs at:

Deployment status: Running. Status of machines in the farm:
bootstrap_IN_0: Running setup scripts... [BusyRole]
Waiting for role to start... System is initializing.

I've waited an hour at that stage, on more than one occasion. I can't determine if it's a problem with Azure or with git-azure. In the management portal, I get:

Not all role instances are ready.
1 Instance: 1 Busy

and there's nothing listening on the site url.
