It works for me, both pulling into an existing repo and cloning from
scratch.  eventually you have local problems.  Try if "git gc --prune",
eventually followed by "git pack-refs --prune" helps.

It it doesn't, then clone from scratch.

And of course you should use git protocol rather than HTTP.

Best regards,

Dear Wolfgang,

I am using the git protocol but only a clone from scratch worked for me.
