Thanks. I think I see what is going on.

We finish the helper conversation here:

Checking connectivity... done.
Debug: Disconnecting.
error: git-remote-https died of signal 13
sb@sb:/tmp$ 

which means that remote-https is trying to exit, and is cleaning up any
curl connections. The actual SIGPIPE in the strace is here:

[pid 28319] write(3, "\25\3\2\0...[binary goo]...", 27) = -1 EPIPE (Broken pipe)

and if you walk backwards, fd 3 is:

  [pid 28319] socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
  ...
  [pid 28319] connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET,
                          sin_port=htons(443),
                          sin_addr=inet_addr("192.30.252.131")}, 16
                          ) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress)

So it's sending binary junk to the https socket while trying to exit,
which makes me guess that it's something to do with terminating the SSL
session, but the server has already hung up. Which would make it a curl
problem.

Googling "curl sigpipe" seems to come up with a report of this exact
case:

  http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2013-01/0003.html

I cannot reproduce the error using the curl command from that site.
curl returns with 0.

with a bug opened here:

  http://sourceforge.net/p/curl/bugs/1180/

Looks like the fix went into curl 7.32.0. I have 7.33.0, which seems
fine. Can you confirm that your libcurl is a bit older?

dpkg -l |grep curl
