[Bug 1228148] [NEW] git clone -q ends with early EOF

[Marek Vasut]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

I am trying to clone a repository and I am getting the following output:

$ git clone -q git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/linux.git
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

The "fatal:" lines usually appear a few minutes after running the clone. Of 
course, the clone does not finish successfully. Interestingly, when I drop the 
'-q' option from the git clone commandline, the clone finishes correctly.

My git version is:

$ git --version
git version 1.8.4.rc3

This issue was reported to git AT vger kernel org ML with the following result:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg217736.html

Server-side patch must be applied as described here:

Patches that fix the issue:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg217020.html

Can you please fix your git server at kernel.ubuntu.com ?

Thank you!

Best regards,
Marek Vasut
