fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed

Question

I have googled and found many solutions but none work for me.

I am trying to clone from one machine by connecting to the remote server which is in the LAN network.

The git-daemon issue seems to have been resolved in v2.17.0 (verified with a non working v2.16.2.1). I.e. workaround of selecting text in console to "lock output buffer" should no longer be required.

From https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.17.0/Documentation/RelNotes/2.17.0.txt:

• Assorted fixes to "git daemon". (merge ed15e58efe jk/daemon-fixes later to maint).
