Git Clone Fails with sslRead() error on OS X Yosemite

Question

I'm currently on OS X Yosemite 10.10.3, and trying to git clone an existing repo which works fine on Windows. I've tried a combo of installing git through homebrew with curl/openssl with no luck. When i run the git clone, i get the following ssl read error:

GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git clone http://myURL/gitlab/project/project.git

> remote: Counting objects: 1641, done. remote: Compressing objects:
> 100% (1588/1588), done.
> * SSLRead() return error -98061641), 136.73 MiB | 1.71 MiB/s    
> * Closing connection 2 remote: Total 1641 (delta 910), reused 0 (delta 0) error: RPC failed; result=56, HTTP code = 200 Receiving objects:
> 100% (1641/1641), 137.48 MiB | 1.64 MiB/s, done. Resolving deltas:
> 100% (910/910), done.

I've tried using both the Https & Http with no luck. Has anyone else hit something similar to this?

Below are outputs of git, curl, & openssl versions if that helps.

curl --version
curl 7.37.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin14.0) libcurl/7.37.1 SecureTransport zlib/1.2.5
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp

git --version
git version 2.4.1

openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8zd 8 Jan 2015

Thanks in advance for any direction!

Answer 1

Javabrett's link got me to the answer, it revolves around Yosemite using an incorrect SSL dependency, which Git ends up using.

Installing Git via homebrew with these flags works:

brew install git --with-brewed-curl --with-brewed-openssl

Or:

brew reinstall git --with-brewed-curl --with-brewed-openssl

Answer 2

if one had no brewed openssl before the answer above (brew reinstall git --with-brewed-curl --with-brewed-openssl) does not work.

The workflow described here does better:

$ brew remove git
$ brew remove curl

$ brew install openssl
$ brew install --with-openssl curl
$ brew install --with-brewed-curl --with-brewed-openssl git
