Lately I've been receiving this error frequently from git.kernel.org:

What is causing this?
Almost any error will cause the pack sending to abort, and the git://
protocol only opens a single socket for data, so there is no way for the
other end to say _what_ failed.
With git.kernel.org, I suspect the reason for the failure is almost always
the same, though: the mirroring is not complete, so it doesn't have all
object files. The mirroring from master.kernel.org to the actual public
machines is just a rsync script, so there's no atomicity guarantees.
That said, it might be a load issue too - I don't know what limits
Peter & co put on the git daemons, and it might also be that it's set up
to accept at most <n> connections and will close anything else.

I doubt it is a problem with mirroring, since it affects all repos
(kernel, git, cogito, etc.) at the same time.
