We have problems cloning git repositories containing submodules on Debian. Cloning them locally, on Debian, or on Mac OS X, works without a hitch. Cloning them remotely from a Mac OS X repo server to a Mac OS X client computer also works as expected, as does cloning repos without submodules.
But as soon as a clone of a git repo containing a submodule on the Debian machine is attempted from another computer, this happens:

However, git fsck reports no errors.
The git version is the latest published one, 1.5.5.1, installed from source (not via apt-get), and configured only with ./configure -- prefix=/usr/local
Googling for info about git submodule and corrupted repos yields absolutely nothing.
Any ideas, anyone?
