Description Cedric Sodhi 2018-02-18 09:31:39 UTC 
With EGIT_CLONE_TYPE="shallow" the following happens when trying to emerge ffmpeg-9999 (clone or fetch)

> git clone https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git +HEAD:refs/git-r3/HEAD --depth=1
> Cloning into '+HEAD:refs/git-r3/HEAD'...
> fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
> fatal: protocol error: bad pack header

I suppose the problem is the `--depth=1` being appended at the end rather than specified directly after `clone`.

(`fetch`, that is. In the above example I just reproduced the error manually.)

That's a problem with the server. You can workaround it by setting EGIT_MIN_CLONE_TYPE.
