I know this error! I had it happen to me way back when libgit tries to
work with a remote that exposes the older http-based git protocol. AFAIK
(but this was some time ago) libgit does not support this.

See [0] for a explanation on which protocols are supported. Perhaps you
can try to use of the other protocols to see if that helps you? YMMV, of
course :-).
