I seem to be having a problem doing an http checkout with git built
with curl 7.16.0 enabled.  If I build against curl 7.16.0 and try a
clone, I get:

git clone http://dmlb2000.homelinux.org/~dmlb2000/git-repos/local/castfs.git
error: Unable to start request error: Could not interpret heads/master

If I rebuild git against curl 7.15.5 then I get:

and the checkout finishes.

Has any one else seen this?

FWIW, I've seen the same with curl 7.16.0 on a Solaris 9 machine.
It worked fine with curl 7.15.0.

It works fine for me on Aurora Corona (sparc) with curl-7.15.5-1.al3, while
it fails as above on Fedora rawhide (i386) with curl-7.16.0-4.fc7.

Furthermore, with new curl pulling from HTTP repos when there are updates
gives double free errors and a crash.

Hmmm.  Could somebody please run http-fetch under gdb and see
where it breaks?  The exact command line you need to use would
be obtainable by running "sh -x git-clone" once.
