remote to push to local branch: hung up unexpectedly

I have this in .config:

[remote "anthony"]
        url = .
        push = +refs/heads/pci:refs/heads/for_anthony

The point is to save state when it's stable and safe for outside use.

I hoped to make this shortcut for:
git push  . +refs/heads/pci:refs/heads/for_anthony

But this does:

Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
To .
 * [new branch]      pci -> for_anthony
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

So the command works but seems to give an error at the end.
Same effect with url = file://.
with url = /scm/qemu   (this is repo path)
and with url = file:///scm/qemu

reproduced with 1.6.6.144 and with 1.6.2.5

Are you working in a "normal" git setup with a .git folder and the
files checked out? Or are you working with a --bare repo?

It's a normal setup.

I used this script with v1.6.2.5, push was ok.

  #!/bin/bash
  GITZ="/home/rctay/ext01/dev/git/git-1.6.2.5/git \
  --exec-path=/home/rctay/ext01/dev/git/git-1.6.2.5/"
  $GITZ --version

  mkdir foo
  cd foo
  $GITZ init

  echo hello > file1
  $GITZ add file1
  $GITZ commit -m "new file"
  $GITZ checkout -b pci

  $GITZ config remote.anthony.url .
  $GITZ config remote.anthony.push +refs/heads/pci:refs/heads/anthony

  $GITZ push anthony

I used this script with v1.6.2.5, push was ok.

And so it was for me. Also if I clone the tree everything
is OK.  So it's specific to this tree.

  #!/bin/bash
  GITZ="/home/rctay/ext01/dev/git/git-1.6.2.5/git \
  --exec-path=/home/rctay/ext01/dev/git/git-1.6.2.5/"
  $GITZ --version

  mkdir foo
  cd foo
  $GITZ init

  echo hello > file1
  $GITZ add file1
  $GITZ commit -m "new file"
  $GITZ checkout -b pci

  $GITZ config remote.anthony.url .
  $GITZ config remote.anthony.push +refs/heads/pci:refs/heads/anthony

  $GITZ push anthony
