I just tried, and to be more precise, the error is at clone time:

No clue what's wrong though, just wanted to save other people some time :).

It really looks like a problem coming from the remote side only. I'm not
sure why. You should contact the admin of the repository.

I've had a similar error here :

  % git clone git://git.openezx.org/sgh-i900.git
  Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/sgh-i900/.git/
  remote: Counting objects: 128422, done.

And at my first try :

  % git clone git://git.openezx.org/sgh-i900.git
  Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/sgh-i900/.git/
  remote: fatal: Out of memory, realloc failed

% git --version
