SSH cloning returning "empty git-upload-pack given"

I am not sure if this is an issue, bug , or lack of understanding, but, when im trying to clone a repo using ssh , i am recieving this error "empty git-upload-pack given". Any ideas why ? A snippet :

                      sshPath := privateKeyFile
		sshKey, _ := ioutil.ReadFile(sshPath)
		publicKey, keyError := ssh.NewPublicKeys(user, []byte(sshKey), password)
		if keyError != nil {
			fmt.Println(keyError)
		}

		repo, err = git.PlainClone(cloneDir, false, &git.CloneOptions{
			URL:               scanRequest.RepoURL,
			Progress:          os.Stdout,
			Auth:              publicKey,
			ReferenceName:     plumbing.ReferenceName(fmt.Sprintf("refs/heads/%s", scanRequest.Branch)),
			SingleBranch:      true,
			RecurseSubmodules: git.DefaultSubmoduleRecursionDepth,
		})
		if err != nil {
			fmt.Sprintf("%s %s %s", "07", "Clone failed: %s\n", err.Error())
			return
		}

You don't happen to be cloning from Azure Devops do you? There's a known issue (they only implement the git v2 protocol -- #64) that seems to give the "empty git-upload-pack" error you've been seeing.

Thank you @ChandlerSwift for the reply, hopefully this will be added soon.
