Hrm, has this ever been resolved?

Thank you for asking.
My local git version is 1.7.5.4, the server version that I actually
ended up pushing the files to was however still some 1.6.x.
So it was a false alarm. Sorry about that.

Not really.  Pushing or fetching by a new version of Git against old
version of Git *should* work; otherwise it is a bug.

Yes, but there may be old bugs in the server version that have since
been fixed. For example, the bug fixed by 838cd346 might be the cause of
this (that fix went into 1.6.0.3).

Yeah, Lars said 1.6.x above, but in the response it turns out the
version used is 1.6.0.2, so lack of that commit is a very likely
reason.

Thanks.
