I'm a maintainer for well over 100 ports. But more often than

the FreeBSD git servers:

# git clone -o freebsd --config remote.freebsd.fetch='+refs/notes/*:refs/notes/*' https://git.freebsd.org/ports.git PORTS-20220502

returns:
error: RPC failed; HTTP 504 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 504
fatal: error reading section header 'shallow-info'

# git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000

Hope that helps!

I've run into this issue in the past with older versions of git. I found that updating my version of git to anything equal or newer than 2.35.1 resolved it. If you can't update your git version because you can't update your ports tree, I found that adjusting the size of the global config for git's "http.postBuffer" to 500MB fixed the issue for older git versions:
