[PATCH] lessen the impression of unexpectedness on remote hangup

If a server accessed through ssh is denying access git will currently issue the message

	"fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly"

as the last line. This sounds as if something really ugly just happened. Since this is a quite typical situation in which users regularly get lets just say:

	"fatal: The remote end hung up"
