Re: Bizarre problem cloning repo from Codeplex

I'm trying to clone the following repository from Codeplex:

https://git01.codeplex.com/entityframework.git

git downloads all the objects, creates the directory
"entityframework",
then displays "error: RPC failed; result=56, HTTP code = 200" and
immediately deletes the directory.

I can clone other HTTPS repos with this git installation, for example
from Bitbucket and Github.  It's git 1.7.10.4 on Debian.  

reproduced it on Ubuntu precise, git-1.7.9.5

When starting with an empty repo, adding the url as remote and calling
git remote update origin:

Fetching origin
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-5cWq1d/pkcs11: No such file or directory
remote: Counting objects: 21339, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3778/3778), done.
remote: Total 21339 (delta 17180), reused 21339 (delta 17180)
Receiving objects: 100% (21339/21339), 11.24 MiB | 1.04 MiB/s, done.
error: RPC failed; result=56, HTTP code = 200
Resolving deltas: 100% (17180/17180), done.
error: Could not fetch origin

But: refs/remotes/origin/master is added and looks sane (git fsck
shows no errors).

Subsequent 'git remote update' calls look good:

Fetching origin

Even after manually removing the ref and re-running update,
everything look fine:

Fetching origin
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-5cWq1d/pkcs11: No such file or directory
From https://git01.codeplex.com/entityframework
 * [new branch]      master     -> origin/master

Their webserver seems to be configured quite restrictively
(eg. cannot access files like 'packed-refs').

Is there a way to trace the actual HTTP calls ?
