git error: RPC failed; curl 56 GnuTLS recv error (-54): Error in the pull function

Question

I tried git submodule update --init --recursive

and got following error

error: RPC failed; curl 56 GnuTLS recv error (-54): Error in the pull function. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed

My OS is window 10 and I'm using docker for windows. Docker images is ubuntu:16.04

Solution

Looks like you are missing openssl package, as another option could be network issue.
