What if you explicitly disable HTTP/2 when cloning?

    git -c http.version=HTTP/1.1 clone ...

should probably do this.


Thanks for the idea! I tested it:

$  git -c http.version=HTTP/1.1 clone https://github.com/maliit/keyboard
maliit-keyboard
Cloning into 'maliit-keyboard'...

error: RPC failed; curl 18 transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining

fatal: early EOF
fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

Sadly, it seems like the error is only slightly different. It was still worth a try. I
contacted GitHub support a while ago but it got stuck. If there were resume
available such hiccups wouldn't matter, I hope that explains why I suggested that
feature.

I don't really understand what "it got stuck" means. Is that a colloquialism? What got stuck? That case at GitHub?

Have you tried git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000

It might help. The feature being requesting, even if possible, will probably not happen quickly, unless someone has a solid and simple design for this. That is why we are trying to figure out the root cause of your situation, which is not clear to me as to what exactly is failing (possibly a buffer size issue, if this is consistently failing). My experience, as I said before, on these symptoms, is a proxy (even a local one) that is in the way. If you have your linux instance on a VM, the hypervisor may not be configured correctly. Lack of further evidence (all we really have is the curl RPC failure) makes diagnosing this very difficult.


Thanks for your response, I appreciate it. I don't know what the hold up is for them, but I'm probably too unimportant, which I understand. I'm not an enterprise user, and >99% of others have faster connections than me which is perhaps why they dodge this config(?) issue.

And thanks for your suggestion, but sadly it seems to have no effect:

$ git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
$ git -c http.version=HTTP/1.1 clone https://github.com/maliit/keyboard maliit-keyboard
Cloning into 'maliit-keyboard'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 23243, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (464/464), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (207/207), done.
error: RPC failed; curl 18 transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining
error: 2444 bytes of body are still expected
fetch-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet
fatal: early EOF
fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

I'm doubtful this is solvable without either some resume or a fix from Github's end. But I can use SSH clone so this isn't urgent.

Resume just seemed like an idea that would also help others, and it's what makes many other internet services work much better for me.
