bundle install leads to git clone error. Not sure what this response means

Getting a strange error on bundle install..

bundle install
Fetching gem metadata from http://rubygems.org/.....
Fetching gem metadata from http://rubygems.org/..
Fetching git://github.com/maccman/gdata.git
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Git error: command `git clone 'git://github.com/maccman/gdata.git' "/Users/elephanttrip/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p318@shasta/cache/bundler/git/gdata-811f852468ac76e0019108d8c5320da12b6683d4" --bare --no-hardlinks` in directory /Users/elephanttrip/Sites/shasta has failed.

This wasn't happening until I installed the mysql2 gem and mysql with brew.

Any ideas what this error means?

UPDATE

Also none of the folders it is trying to clone this to exist. It's probably something to do with my bundle paths and juggling .rvm

Solution

  • The problem is not on your end. Trying: 

    git clone 'git://github.com/maccman/gdata.git' "foobar" --bare --no-hardlinks

    Fails on my machine with the same error.

    Interestingly a non-bare clone seems to work as expected.

    resolution: Clone from the https interface: https://github.com/maccman/gdata.git instead.
