With gitlab support's help I've traced the issue to these lines in my
.gitconfig
[remote "origin"]
receivepack = git receive-pack
I don't actually remember why I had that option, or if maybe another
program set it for me.... but once removed I had no problem. But if anyone
else has the same issue, removing that solves the problem...
