How to solve "aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side"?

I am trying to pull in my spring MVC project. And afterthat, the pull didn't work, I am getting the error message in eclipse message box: "aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side".
Could anyone give me a hand please?
I have this error message from eclipse:

Your Git is talking to another Git. That other Git is (presumably) on a different machine, far away somewhere over the Internet. According to your Eclipse software, the problem is on the other machine.

There is nothing you can do on your side. You must log in to the other machine and examine the repository there. The server may have logs about what it found, or you can just navigate to the repository in question and run git fsck.

Edit per comments (see below): Eclipse is hiding a key bit of information. A clone run from the command line prints:

remote: Counting objects: 55755, done.
error: pack-objects died of signal 9
remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.
fatal: early EOF
error: git upload-pack: git-pack-objects died with error.
fatal: index-pack failed
fatal: git upload-pack: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.

Although it's not obvious, the second line is the key here: Died of signal 9 means that on the server, the git pack-objects commands was killed by the "OOM killer".

A google search for git server OOM killer site:stackoverflow.com turns up:

and more.

I had the same kind of issue, the reason was that the root on the linux server ran out of space. Luckily the git(lab) server was running on a different partition, so no git repo was damaged.

Solution: clean up/freeing some disk space on the root.
