The remote end hung up unexpectedly while git cloning

Question

My git client repeatedly fails with the following error after trying to clone the repository for some time.

What could be the issue here?

Answer 1

I had a similar problem, but with a bamboo job. Bamboo was failing doing a local clone (local but over an SSH proxy) of a cached repository, I deleted the cache and after that it worked, but any time it tries to clone from the local cache there is a failure. Seems like a problem with bamboo's version of the SSH proxy not git per se.
