I somehow managed to break my GIT repo. Whenever I try to clone or fetch
from a clean local repo, I get an error.

I'm able to go back on the server, to the very last commit where
everything works, but as soon as I make a change locally and push it, it
breaks again.

It looks like you are pushing via git protocol from Windows
(Git-for-Windows). This is known to dead-lock in most cases, and even
though it did not here, I would not be surprised if it had other issues.

Do not do it. Push via ssh instead.

Does it? Doesn't the "To git@git.samson-it.nl:/home/git/shifter_rai"
line suggests ssh?
