The repository you are cloning uses pack idx version #2; 1.4.4.4 predates it
by a wide margin.
By the way, Debian folks are very aware of the issue and already has a
backported material to cut a 1.4.4.5, but I do not know what the release
schedule for their update is.
Is it an option for you to update to a more modern version from say
backports.org? Everybody using git for anything serious should be using
1.5.3 or newer these days.
It is very development test machine, there is no need to use git at all,
it is just a convenient way to get a needed version via 'git clone; git reset'.
I posted it so it would be stored in archive, that old enough git
version does not work with recent trees, so one should upgrade if this
error occures.
