This also failed for me like this:
cd  /home/jeff/jef
git clone https://github.com/torch/distro.git ~/torch --recursive

error: RPC failed; curl 56 GnuTLS recv error (-9): A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed
fatal: clone of 'https://github.com/torch/cutorch.git' into submodule path 'extra/cutorch' failed
 
last,I could workaround this by doing:
cd /home/jeff
git clone https://github.com/torch/distro.git ~/torch --recursive

and  fix it. Sometimes because of network failure.I hope my answer can
help you.

Bug description:
  On Precise 12.04 whilst attempting:

  GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git clone -v https://git01.codeplex.com/typescript

  the operation fails after the final git pack-file has been received
  and the already-created repository is deleted from the file system.

  git exits at this point but it deletes the entire cloned ./typescript
  directory.

  I tried building the latest git binary and included an additional
  debug option in "http.c" that allowed me to set the protocol version
  using an environment option:

  CURLOPT_SSLVERSION=1 git clone ...

  where 1 = TLSv1, 2 = SSLv2, 3 = SSLv3.

  I tried each protocol but the result was the same.

  The knock-on bug here is that git ought not to delete what it has
  fetched - in this case more than 250MB of data.

  I did try to build the latest gnutls but it needs a very recent
  version of libnettle which has the "rsa_decrypt_tr" function. I
  stopped at that point since I don't want to get into dependency and
  library version issues.
