title: git pull : info/refs HTTP request failed
body: <p>I've just logged onto our Prod box (Centos) after a long break, and I can't do <code>git pull</code> for some reason.</p>
  
  <p>There seems to be a local problem with this clone of the repo, because I can clone and pull the same repo using the same credentials on other machines (that never had a clone of this repo before)</p>
  
  <p>The command-line message is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[root@ft41 project_folder]# git pull
  Password: 
  error:  while accessing https://&lt;myusername&gt;@bitbucket.org/&lt;myproject&gt;/&lt;myrepo&gt;.git/info/refs
  
  fatal: HTTP request failed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The parts in angle-brackets have been redacted by me.
  Is this <code>info/refs</code> the usual URL for this request?  Could something in the local clone be corrupted and causing this?</p>
  
  <p>If it's helpful:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[root@ft41 project_folder]# git status
  # On branch master
  nothing added to commit 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please note - I have done <code>git pull</code> from this pc/directory successfully many times in the past.  It does support HTTPS protocol.</p>
