Ok, this is almost certainly what's up. For some strange reason your git binary segfaults on the clone. The scary thing is, it left your cloned repo in a bad state without even telling you. That's not good. Normally we should always die() and give a _reason_ for a failure. If you have that particular git binary, doing a gdb git and then at the gdb prompt doing x/5i 0x0000003f5eb709d0 will at least tell where the SIGSEGV happened, but it doesn't give a backtrace so unless it's obvious, it can be a bit hard to debug remotely..
