So, long story short, I accidentally sysprepped my dev server not the vm I was working on (I know, too many rdp windows open and sleep deprived due to new baby).
The dev server works ok, I changed the machine name back to what it was and reassigned the old ip address. Everything else on the server seems to work but I can't connect to git anymore remotely. I assume it is gitolite or ssh related.
git clone gives me: Connection closed by 192.168.10.20 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
This is what I get from ssh -v

Any ideas how to fix this greatly appreciated.
A bit like in "Re: sshd: PID xxxx: fatal: initgroups: myid: Invalid argument.", the issue lies in /etc/passwd and /etc/group having the wrong SID for the user (here 'git')
The OP Ian1971 comments:
The problem was that sysprep creates new machine ids so all my local Windows sids were wrong in
/etc/passwdand/etc/group.
