What version of Git is running on the ssh server? Your example seems to show that the parent repository has an unborn branch (i.e., HEAD points to "refs/heads/test", but there are no commits yet). I think the server-side bits you need for that to work showed up in 59e1205d16 (ls-refs: report unborn targets of symrefs, 2021-02-05), which is in v2.31. So even though your client seems to be v2.42 (from the output you gave), if the server is older it may not be sending sufficient information. There were also some other fixes on top of that, but I _think_ they were all client-side (so your v2.42 clone command should be doing the right thing). -Peff
