Hi,

I am having a bit of a weird problem with a Git server of mine I am trying to set up. I have never had problems before which makes it even stranger.

Anyway, when I try to clone as a client, I get this error: fatal: protocol error: bad line length 8205

Does anyone know what causes this/what I should do to fix it?

Many thanks, Oliver Beattie

Never mind, found this was caused by a similar problem to the "bad line length character" issue that is common.
