Re: Problem while cloning a git repo

[Yann COLLETTE <ycollette.nospam@free.fr>]

I am not able to clone via https because gerrit doesn't propose this way 
of cloning.
When I clone via http, I see that git is starting the download of objects:
remote: Counting objects: 256, done
remote: Finding sources: 100% (256/256)
Receiving objects: 46% ... (this part always fails at 46 %).
So, I think that the proxy part is not a problem (there is no proxy set 
here).
If I set GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 before cloning, I've got the following error:
* Problem (2) in the Chunked-Encoded data
* Closing connection 1
