Premature end of pack file, index-pack failed error when cloning new repo

Created by: demisx

I am on Mac OS X Yosemite, git 2.4 and GitLab Community 7.10. I don't have issue with repos under 500MB, but when I clone a remote repo with 19K files 5G total, I quite often see get this error at the start of clone:

fatal: premature end of pack file, 33 bytes missing
fatal: index-pack failed

Usually need to try a couple of times before I am able to clone it. I have nginx client_max_body_size param set at 300MB and the files am I checking out appear to be under 30MB. Any idea what maybe causing this issue or where to start looking?
