I got this error with the current (2015-09-26) modules from the ubuntu vivid package system while trying to pull and clone git repositories using git+https. Then I searched the internet for problems like this and only came up with relatively old discussions. So I uninstalled the dulwich and hg-git packages to try out current packages using pip. That did not work either. I tried out several versions ranging from 0.9.1 upto the current dulwich-0.11.2 and hg_git-0.8.2. I have not found any working combination. This is the output of the current versions, using hg 3.1.5:
$ hg clone git+https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git
destination directory: qt-creator
