Description

When installing a private Git dependencies of a project, with a global Git configuration that uses url.insteadOf the install fails with a dulwich error. This is a setup in GitLab CI pipelines to install dependencies from internal Git repositories without setting up / deploying to additional PyPI repositories.

HangupException
The remote server unexpectedly closed the connection.

See Poetry runtime logs for full traceback.

In the CI pipeline the Git URL replacement is configured in the before_script section using:

git config --global url."https://gitlab-ci-token:${CI_JOB_TOKEN}@gitlab.acme.com/".insteadOf "[email protected]:"

When reproducing the issue manually, poetry prompts for a host key verification which indicates that SSH is used for cloning the package instead of HTTPS as configured in the gitconfig.

The authenticity of host 'gitlab.acme.com (172.23.1.12)' can't be established.
