I'm running a Ubuntu (9.10) server with Git (latest from Ubuntu package manager) installed. Access to the Git is via SSH. On windows machines, I'm using Cygwin to push/pull code.
I can push my project code onto the server but when I do a clone or pull, it returns a [fatal: early EOFs] error at about 75-80%.
Upon further investigation, it seems like textual data has no issue when pulled/cloned but when the jar files and images are pulled from Git, the error will occur.
Any suggestion/advice that can help to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.
What is the Git version are you using (Ubuntu 9.10 packages mentions 1.6.3)
A recent thread reported a similar issue with Git1.7.1, although it was from a Cygwin environment.
$ git clone git:/repo/git/acl acl.test
Initialized empty Git repository in /c/tmp/acl.test/.git/
remote: Counting objects: 9205, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3300/3300), done.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOFs: 62% (5708/9205)
fatal: index-pack failed
Did you try downgrade your Git (on the server side and/or the client side) and see if the problem persists?
As the OP Style reports in the comments, the message can also be trigger by an incorrect protocol:
git+ssh://
instead of just:
ssh:// + git command
@rickb I found that running
git config --add core.compression -1
in the client (cygwin) repository fixed it.
git config --global --add core.compression -1
For some reason, the problem went away after I enabled Compression in the ~/.ssh/config file. God knows why.
Try msysgit. I had the same issue with cygwin's git, and when I fetched the same repository using msysgit it worked first time.

also you can try: git config --global core.compression 0 tp disable the compressions.
