Maybe you have an older version of Git?

Had 1.6.4, just tried with 1.6.4.2 -- the error is still there, exactly so.

Anything I can do to provide more info?

IIRC, the message you are seeing comes when the _server_ is an older
version of git. It is harmless, though.

Since the client and server are the same machine:

    $ git clone ssh://sitaram@localhost/home/sitaram/t/a b

I'd bet Sitaram has two installations of git, and plain ssh to the
machine points to the old one (like a $PATH set in ~/.login and not
~/.profile or something like that).
