Hi,
Using git-for-windows, I noticed that an SSH git clone of an internal repo broke for me in git v2.33.0 The exact error is:
fetch-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet/s fatal: early EOF fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack
Cloning via HTTPS continued to work. It was also repository-specific as cloning other repositories from the same (Gitlab) instance via SSH was working fine.
Together with the maintainer we traced the problem back to git commit ae1a7ee (https://github.com/git/git/commit/ae1a7eefffe60425e6bf6a2065e042ae051cfb6c). Reverting this commit and rebuilding fixed the issue within git-for-windows. (You can read the full conversation here: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3444)
Unfortunately I cannot give a reproducible example as the internal repository cannot be shared. I have also not tested on linux.
Regards, Philipp
