Comment (by eric9):
For git, it appears that git actually does some internal verification when you try to fetch from a new remote.
{{{ ~/Source/Cactus/repos/CRL$ git remote add test git@github.com:gridaphobe/dotvim ~/Source/Cactus/repos/CRL$ git fetch test fatal: did not find object for shallow 234bdec2c1fac30dc0bc8337df906ce752c88c73 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly }}}
The problem is that the error message is not entirely consistent or informative...
{{{ ~/Source/Cactus/repos/CRL$ git remote add test git://github.com/gridaphobe/dotvim.git ~/Cactus/repos/CRL$ git fetch test fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly }}}
Also, if I try via https instead, it just seems to hang.
