I saw the gnutls error message in your output and took a guess that it
was related. I was able to reproduce against the first https repository
that I tried (I don't think it has anything to do with the repository).

I wish we could more certainly blame it on something besides git,
though. I can't reproduce it using just 'curl', so it's possible that
there is a problem with the way git is calling libcurl.

It would be nice if we could generate a minimal test case that
demonstrates the problem, but I can't seem to reproduce it with a
smaller program. If we could, then we could probably get advice from
curl and/or gnutls people.
