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.

Answer 1

Tried most of the answers here, I got the error with the PUTTY SSH Client with all possible constellations.

Once I switched to OpenSSH the error was gone (remove the Environment Variable GIT_SSH and restart the git bash).

I was using a new machine and newest git versions. On many other/older machines (AWS as well) it did work as expected with PUTTY as well without any git configuration.
