Re: Meaning of "fatal: protocol error: bad line length character"?

I've seen this "bad line length character" mentioned in #git and
on this list but nobody seems to have hunted down what this is.

is another (Google finds some others for the error message on
xcb list but that is about fetch-pack which is totally different
codepath).

if you need another example where this is happening, the anongit
repo for lilypond seems to have gotten in this state as well,

[hanwen@haring tmp]$ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/lilypond/.git/
fatal: protocol error: bad line length character
fetch-pack from 'git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git' failed.


pushing/pulling over ssh+git and http still work.
  

(git 1.5.0rc2, not sure what git.sv.gnu.org is running)
