http git and curl 7.16.0

I seem to be having a problem doing an http checkout with git built
with curl 7.16.0 enabled.  If I build against curl 7.16.0 and try a
clone, I get:

git clone http://dmlb2000.homelinux.org/~dmlb2000/git-repos/local/castfs.git
error: Unable to start request error: Could not interpret heads/master
as something to pull

If I rebuild git against curl 7.15.5 then I get:
git clone
http://dmlb2000.homelinux.org/~dmlb2000/git-repos/local/castfs.git got
9a985de4a4cfa973a4573828df4cbb2e4f66c419 walk
9a985de4a4cfa973a4573828df4cbb2e4f66c419 got
c431dee75dfadb4c6f81bd95fa1ae44b2b07b359 got
6e645158ba349eaa68caa4c37d18412b30bfd76d walk
c431dee75dfadb4c6f81bd95fa1ae44b2b07b359 got
e452f63c2af324254b7f65f955cbb5ac8efa6762 got

and the checkout finishes.

Has any one else seen this?

FWIW, I've seen the same with curl 7.16.0 on a Solaris 9 machine.
It worked fine with curl 7.15.0.
