This is strange, even at tqtc-qt5 clone time, it's already trying to checkout a non-existent ref.
Same happens later with qt5compat in your provided log.

When i clone tqtc-qt5, i get a higher number of received objects.

git clone "ssh://codereview.qt-project.org:29418/qt/tqtc-qt5" qt6_new
Cloning into 'qt6_new'...
remote: Counting objects: 760, done
remote: Finding sources: 100% (44/44)

Receiving objects: 100% (45689/45689), 12.53 MiB | 3.08 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (32846/32846), done.

45689 vs 32453

I suspect your account might have insufficient access to download the relevant refs from gerrit, due to additional access control on tqtc lts repos.

I reached out internally for additional info on that.
