what is your local git version and the remote one ?

It's likely that your local git is not aware of packs v2 which is now
default. You want to upgrade your local git, if you're on Debian etch,
updates have been pushed in the last dot release. Or you can even use
git-core from backports.org which is even more up to date (1.6.sth I
guess).
