    packedGitWindowSize = 512m 
[http]
    postBuffer = 1048576000

I am cloning git repo by

git clone http://pathtogit.git /var/www/html/myproject

I have also tried git compression on/off and also tried below command

git clone --depth 1 --branch developer http://path/path.git /var/www/html/project_folder

I am using ubuntu 14.04 and git version 1.9.1

Did you try using Git 2.19? (with the right ppa: https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ubuntu/ppa) — VonC, Sep 30 '18 at 14:28

This error message, RPC failed; result=18, means that the server reported a particular size for what you're downloading and the data was of a different size. This often means that the remote repository has some sort of issue, or that you're using a broken proxy.

If you control the remote repository and it isn't managed explicitly by some software, you might run git fsck and git repack -a -d to see if that fixes the problem.

If not, you can try cloning via SSH and see if that fixes the problem; if so, then it may be due to a proxy (whether on your computer or elsewhere) that's intercepting things, or due to a network problem.
