Cannot clone a GitHub package

[Victor Porton]

I consistently cannot clone this GitHub package:

$ git clone https://github.com/dfinity/motoko
Cloning into 'motoko'...

fetch-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet
fatal: early EOF

Note that it works with Git 2.42.1 on a person from Git mail list.
