Describe the bug

Yarn 4.12.0 fixed git 2.52.0's invalid key: core.autocrlf error. However, it has introduced regression in the log error output.

Compare the two outputs below.

4.11.0 error message. It clearly indicates the error as

➤ YN0001: package@git@github.com:redacted/redacted.git#workspace=redacted&commit=0b78f8194a979956fccda000630f6d8364429444: Failed cloning the repository
Failed cloning the repository
➤ YN0001:   Repository URL: ssh://git@github.com/redacted/redacted.git
➤ YN0001:   Error: invalid key:  core.autocrlf
➤ YN0001:   Fatal Error: unable to write parameters to config file
➤ YN0001:   Exit Code: 128

However, on 4.12.0, we see this:

  ➤ YN0000: │ /tmp/xfs-ad231f63 STDOUT Internal Error: redacted@git@github.com:redacted/redacted.git#commit=d69a48a832d647965a05205cf643751de2730f97: Failed cloning the repository
  ➤ YN0000: │ /tmp/xfs-ad231f63 STDOUT     at RH (/home/runner/.cache/node/corepack/v1/yarn/4.7.0/yarn.js:529:10062)
  ➤ YN0000: │ /tmp/xfs-ad231f63 STDOUT     at async /home/runner/.cache/node/corepack/v1/yarn/4.7.0/yarn.js:529:7533

It seems there's an unhandled exception during the clone and it's affecting the error outputs.
Errors are out of order, and doesn't contain the actual error message which makes it impossible to find the error root cause.

To reproduce

In GitHub Actions:

1. Update yarn version in the package.json to "packageManager": "yarn@4.12.0",
2. Install yarn using corepack. npm i -g corepack, corepack enable, yarn -v
3. Install some repositories using the git syntax.
   yarn add foo@git+ssh://git@github.com/owner/repo.git.
4. If the target git repository contains packageManager field set and uses yarn < 4.12.0, then corepack automatically uses that version instead of the current yarn version. So users will see above error.
