Subject: [PATCH] lessen the impression of unexpectedness on remote hangup
Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:23:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120610182310.GB2427@book.hvoigt.net> (raw)

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
lets just say:

	"fatal: The remote end hung up"
