Random EOF errors when performing clone

[pkaramol]

I am performing in memory git clones as follows

	// creating the in mem fs to hold the checkouts
	fs := memfs.New()

	_, err = git.Clone(memory.NewStorage(), fs, &git.CloneOptions{
		URL:           repo,
		ReferenceName: plumbing.ReferenceName(branch),
		Depth:         1,
		Auth:          auth,
	})

	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("ERROR Cloning %s and branch %s: %s\n", repo, branch, err.Error())
	}

The problem is that sometimes I get the following error:

ERROR Cloning git@github.com:my-username/my-repo.git and
branch refs/heads/workablestg1: unexpected EOF
