I am trying to clone a (private) remote repository but I am getting following error:

 remote: Counting objects: 11410, done
 remote: Finding sources: 100% (11410/11410)
 remote: Getting sizes: 100% (9178/9178)
 error: RPC failed; result=56, HTTP code = 200
 error: inflate: data stream error (invalid block type)
 fatal: pack has bad object at offset 427781: inflate returned -3

I am using Git version 1.9.4 on Windows 8 Pro Build 9200. There are large files on that repo, but file size seems irrelevant to my problem because I still get the same error when I try to clone some other smaller repository (<20Mb with AppHarbor). Any ideas ?

    What can you tell us about your network config? Have you read this? Commented Aug 22, 2014 at 11:09
  • I am not sure that I can tell You something about my network config. Now I am waiting for admin. Maybe he will find some problem Commented Aug 22, 2014 at 11:12
  • Show your sysadmin the link in my comment; that may help. Commented Aug 22, 2014 at 11:13

My sysadmin figured out that the problem was with Avast. If you're experiencing the same problem and you use Avast, then try disabling it. That fixed my problem.

The git binaries I've found in ubuntu and debian both have this bug. It's caused by a bug in GnuTLS which git is compiled against (tracked here). It's simply not possible to clone a git repo in Ubuntu or Debian with a HTTPS URL.

You have two options:

  1. Clone the repo using SSH
  2. Recompile git against libcurl4-openssl-dev (libcurl4-gnutls-dev didn't work for me)

In case you decide for option #2, here's a copy/paste to recompile the latest git on debian or ubuntu. The latest version of git is found here.

apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev libexpat1-dev gettext libz-dev libssl-dev autoconf \
&& wget https://github.com/git/git/archive/v2.8.1.tar.gz -O git.tar.gz \
&& tar -zxf git.tar.gz \
&& cd git-* \
&& make configure \
&& ./configure --prefix=/usr  \
&& make install

I solved it by using SSH to perform the clone. Solution found here.

To use SSH with Bitbucket, you create an SSH identity. An identity consists of a private and a public key which together are a key pair. The private key resides on your local computer and the public you upload to your Bitbucket account. Once you upload a public key to your account, you can use SSH to connect with repositories you own and repositories owned by others, provided those other owners give your account permissions. By setting up SSH between your local system and the Bitbucket server, your system uses the key pair to automate authentication; you won't need to enter your password each time you interact with your Bitbucket repository.

Here's how to Setup SSH for Git.

This setting will just make git console output more verbose. Possibly this will give you a hint why the error occurs, but it won't solve it.
