ssh - Git push results in fatal: protocol error: bad line length character: This

Question

I am trying to get GitLab working on my server (running CentOS 6.5). I followed the gitlab-receipe to the line, but I just can't get it working. I am able to access the web interface, create new projects but pushing to the master branch returns the following error :

fatal: protocol error: bad line length character: This

I have done checks on the production environment, here are the results :

For the init script error, the receipt says

Do not mind about that error if you are sure that you have downloaded the up-to-date

so as I have downloaded the latest one, I can't really do much about it.

I've been banging my head for the past week, and can not figure out why this error is occurring, any help would appreciated!!
