error with git clone

Question

I have a strange problem with git. When I try to clone a repository (I tried with severals) the terminal outputs:

ma7730@debian:$ git clone https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation.git
Cloning into 'QGIS-Documentation'... 
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation.git/': GnuTLS recv error (-54): Error in the pull function.

Using git 2.1.0 on a debian testing (jessie) machine.

I don't know what should I do to fix this problem, somebody has an idea?

It would be useful to see the whole command so that we can see if it is reproducable. If not, we might also need to understand your environment a bit more. — László Papp, Sep 03 '14 at 08:34
And the version of git (for information, I'm running 1.9.1 and cloning the URL works). — NoDataFound, Sep 03 '14 at 08:35

I was having a similar problem, and bumped into this thread.

As per augie's suggestion, you should try the operation with verbosity activated:

ma7730@debian:$ GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git clone https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation.git

And see what you get. For me, repeating the command with debug activated seemed to solve the problem.
