I am trying to clone a repository from a remote Gitlab server over SSH. I am using Gitlab CE version 9.3.9 755bb71
and TortoiseGIT version 2.5.0
and git (for windows) version 2.14.0
SSH Keys are installed correctly as I have tested the authentication using
ssh -vT git@192.168.100.100 -i /path/to/.ssh/key
I get the following message for authentication success using the above key

When I use TortoiseGit on windows to clone a repository I get the following error on the client
Cloning into 'C:\path\folder'...
GitLab: Disallowed command
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
On the gitlab server, in the gitlab-shell.log
I get the following warning message
WARN -- : gitlab-shell: Attempt to execute disallowed command <git upload-pack '/path/to/repo.git'> by user with key key-1.
But when I try git clone
from another linux machine with a different SSH key it's successfull and I get the following info message in gitlab-shell.log
on the gitlab server
INFO -- : gitlab-shell: executing git command <gitaly-upload-pack {"repository":{"path":"/very/long/path/to/repo.git"},"gl_id":"key-2"}> for user with key key-2.
I have spent more than 10 hours trying to debug everything and I am not sure what's the difference or where exactly is the problem. I have also tried adding the following in my local .gitconfig
file for TortoiseGit but that doesn't change anything.
[remote "origin"]
uploadpack = git-upload-pack
Finally, cloning the same repository over HTTPS works fine, without any problem using a username / password.
