How do bugs in Git get solved? I can't find an issue tracker. 

You send an email to the mailing list and people work on it. :)

Is that git@vger.kernel.org ?

I added some debug code in pkt-line.c, function 
packet_read_line(). This tells me that 'buffer' that is passed 
to packet_read_line() contains nothing but null characters, 
while 'size' is set to 1000.

Yeah, it's expecting data to be written into it. You need to see what
packet_read_line reads into linelen via safe_read (which is also printed
in the error message, so it looks from the above like it contains NULs).

I made it read some more than 4 bytes. And this is what I get:

{27}]0;github git-receive-pack 'pebbe/Gabmap.git'{7}

Ah, I see! I have a wrapper set-up around ssh that sets the 
window title of the shell to the ssh command argument. That is 
what messes things up!

OK. Fixed now.
