Same here with both the master and next branch of git. rsync as suggested by Johannes Weiner works. You can change the protocol back to git in .git/remotes/origin after cloning; pulling small changes seems to work fine. strace tells me that safe_read at pkt-line.c:111 gets only 305 of the expected 996 bytes and then dies. I have no idea how that might happen. :-/ Pulling the git repository works using the git protocol, btw.
