I'm going to close this for gnutls26 since it's an old release by now,
and for gnutls28 since I can't reproduce (fedorahosted is no more and I
couldn't reproduce on kernel.org, and I definitely don't have F5
firewalls handy).

Bug description:
Platform: Ubuntu 14.04, ppc64le (Power 8 LE), git version: 1:1.9.1-1
When accessing a public repository over HTTPS, I get the following error:
$ git clone --no-checkout https://git.fedorahosted.org/git/lvm2.git lvm2
Cloning into 'lvm2'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://git.fedorahosted.org/git/lvm2.git/':
gnutls_handshake() failed: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.
Accessing the same public repository from a different machine running
in a different network - also Ubuntu 14.04, but running on x86-64, the
commands executed with no errors. Both platforms have the same git
version (dpkg -l | grep git)
I checked online for an explanation. Found this:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/186847/error-gnutls-handshake-falied-when-connecting-to-https-servers
According to that, Gnu TLS may have some issues when proxies
(firewalls?) are present on the network path to the repositories. The
recommended solution is to rebuild git using OpenSSL instead of TLS. I
tried it and got to a different error ("Unknown SSL protocol error").
Can you please fix git to make it work correctly?
