I'm trying to update my StGIT repo here, and get a crash from
git-http-fetch (git 1.4.3.4). Trying to clone it anew gives:

It works for me, with

  $ git --version
  git version 1.4.3.3.g8387

But it's horribly slow. Catalin, have you ever packed that repository?

I've never packed it. IIRC, there was some advise in some GIT document
or e-mail saying that you shouldn't pack if the export is over a dumb
protocol. That's good for people pulling regularly but bad for
cloning.

Anyway, thanks to Pasky, you can now pull/clone it over the git
protocol directly - git://repo.or.cz/stgit.git. This repository is up
to date. I have a plan to move the main StGIT repository to Pasky's
server but I'm a bit busy with other things at the moment.
