this summmer git has seen improvements, trying to give more details
as to why this happens. I don't know which side - the server or your
client - would need to be updated.

    Merge branch 'hv/remote-end-hung-up'
    
    When we get disconnected while expecting a response from the remote
    side because authentication failed, we issued an error message "The
    remote side hung up unexpectedly."
    
    Give hint that it may be a permission problem in the message when we
    can reasonably suspect it.
    
    * hv/remote-end-hung-up:
      remove the impression of unexpectedness when access is denied

    remove the impression of unexpectedness when access is denied
    
    If a server accessed through ssh is denying access git will currently
    issue the message
    
        "fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly"
    
    as the last line. This sounds as if something really ugly just happened.
    Since this is a quite typical situation in which users regularly get
    we do not say that if it happens at the beginning when reading the
    remote heads.
    
    If its in the very first beginning of reading the remote heads it is
    very likely an authentication error or a missing repository.
    
    If it happens later during reading the remote heads we still indicate
    that it happened during this initial contact phase.
