Anyone know why git is failing to clone with the HTTPS protocol (but

It is working fine here:

Maybe:
https://superuser.com/questions/1250527/git-clone-stopped-working
OK so that page suggests reinstalling package libgnutls-deb0-28
Err... maybe it's been edited since.
On superuser.com/questions/1250527/git-clone-stopped-working , I read:

To me, that second message (apparently from the superuser thread OP)
looks like it suggests
1. uninstalling libgnutls-deb0-28,
2. taking careful note of the explicitly desired applications that
will be removed as a consequence of the removal of
libgnutls-deb0-28,
3. and then re-installing those desired applications.
That doesn't sound like the same thing as reinstalling
libgnutls-deb0-28. Not to me.
BUT, that package is not in the archives for Debian stable:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libgnutls-deb0-28
shows that it's only available in wheezy-backports, jessie
(oldstable) and sid (unstable) as a debports port for arm64.
Curious.
So the file
pool/main/g/gnutls28/libgnutls-deb0-28_3.3.8-6+deb8u7_amd64.deb
is in the archives, but not listed as a stable/stretch package.
Neato.

So I installed this system from a jessie dvd and immediately upgraded
to testing about a week before stretch became the new stable. So, like
you, my stretch system is an upgrade from jessie (though it only spent
a couple of hours as jessie).
I had no difficulty replicating john doe's success with
$ git clone https://github.com/gnubee-git/GnuBee_Docs.git gnubee-git
(except for his enviable download rates).
Interestin. Given it's apparently not in stretch, perhaps I should
simply uninstall it:
$ sudo apt remove libgnutls-deb0-28

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer

automoc cvsps emacs freepats git-doc gstreamer1.0-libav iceweasel
...
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] ^C
Looks like a Debian archives disconnect has happened somewhere ...
when removing a package that's "officially" not in the distribution,
removes 563 MB of installed software.
Bugs?
This:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=libgnutls-deb0-28
shows "No reports found!"
I also note that this package's "Provides" fields shows nothing,
Can confirm:
davidson@intherye$ dpkg-query -W -f '${Provides}' libgnutls-deb0-28
davidson@intherye$
but reverse depends:
Reverse depends:

Whoa there.
davidson@intherye$ apt-cache rdepends libgnutls-deb0-28 ; echo THAT\'S ALL FOLKS

This is a mystery that is beyond me. Any other ideas out there ???
I notice that nowhere in this thread have I been able to locate where
you indicate what *version* of libgnutls-deb0-28 you have installed.
It would be interesting to know.
Anyways, either way, nice to see you around again.
Good luck.
