A bit OT, I've noticed the following output today:

Notice the "g " at the begining at the 3th line. This is reproducible.

I get much worse:

According to strace, data from sideband channel #2 (prefixed with 
"remote: ") pertaining to object compression is printed way after pack 
data has already started to arrive locally.  This is really weird.

And this occurs only when fetching from repo.or.cz and not from 
git.kernel.org for example.  So there is something to investigate on the 
server side.  Pasky: anything you changed in your git installation 
lately?
