I'm not so sure it's not, I think the "Connection to github.com closed by remote host" message is emitted by the C library, not Git itself (we don't seem to have that exact wording anywhere, but maybe I missed it).
I've seen other cases where I think OSX in particular is quite verbose in this area, but maybe I'm misrecalling.
We've already received all objects as noted downthread, so having the connection go away should be something we handle gracefully, and the code in transport.c seems to try to do that.
It's also quite unusual for us to exit with code 255, I don't think we do that intentionally anywhere (not from die, BUG etc.).
Evan: Can you run this with some of GIT_TRACE=1 / GIT_TRACE_EVENT=/dev/stderr GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1 and see if some of those show what's happening in/around that 255 exit?
