(Tip for the future: removing the above lines makes a report easier to
take in at a glance.)

result=51 is the return value from curl_easy_perform, which is a
CURLcode. From /usr/include/curl/curl.h I see that 51 is
CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION, /* 51 - peer's certificate or fingerprint
wasn't verified fine */
But there's no way the user who doesn't read source code would have
known that --- Git ought to call curl_easy_strerror(), which would
make the message say something clearer like "SSL peer certificate or
SSH remote key was not OK" instead. Thanks for catching it.
Sincerely,
Jonathan
