Here's a new transport problem. When using git-clone to fetch Martin's
tree it kept failing for me at dreamhost. I had a parallel fetch
running on my local machine which has a much slower net connection. It
finally finished and I am watching the end phase where it prints all
of the 'walk' messages. The git-http-fetch process has jumped up to
800MB in size after being 2MB during the download. dreamhost has a
500MB process size limit so that is why my fetches kept failing there.

The http-fetch process uses by mmaping the downloaded pack, and
if I recall correctly we are talking about 600MB pack, so 500MB
limit sounds impossible, perhaps?
