git clone on out-of-space device causes incorrect errors

Hi,

When cloning onto a device that is out of space to fulfill the whole clone operation, git will report that the remove repository does not exist:

$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla/flask Cloning into 'flask'... remote: Repository not found. fatal: repository 'https://github.com/mozilla/flask/' not found

This error is misleading. As an example here is what hg does for the same situation:

$ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/dholth/wheel destination directory: wheel requesting all changes adding changesets adding manifests adding file changes transaction abort! failed to truncate 00changelog.i rollback failed - please run hg recover abort: No space left on device: /Volumes/Disk Image/wheel/.hg/store/.fncache-bt6dzr
