Git Checkout error

Question

While trying to checkout the repository, i'm getting the below error

Cloning into 'C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\test'..
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

git did not exit cleanly (exit code 128)

Any idea on how to debug this error, Thanks in advance.

I'm not following the steps provided in the duplicate link: All i'm doing is to 'checkout' a repository, not a commit or create a repository. — Coolbreeze, Jun 20 '12 at 20:39
Okay, I had to change the SSH key, which was not authenticating me. The issue is resolved now. Thanks for the help. — Coolbreeze, Jun 22 '12 at 01:38

Look at

yourdir/.git/config

And make sure it's looking at the correct place. If it is, make sure that you have permission. It may be a key issue.

EDIT: Never mind, your not going to have a .git directory if you can't clone. But the issue is still either pathing or permission.
