Possible fixes

• have repo synced multiple times on git hub but never faced this error. This is the first time on gitlab - not sure if there are any additional setting that need to be made specific for gitlab
• these files on which the repo is failing are huge - is it possible to break them into multiple folders
• tried git config --global http.postBuffer with various byte size as suggested on some sites on the net but did not work. Even tried git config --global http.postBuffer 3000000000 as the file size being downloaded was 2 Gb + did not work.
