This happens because we are scanning the progress channel wrong in some cases. Its random; most of the time we can get it right, but every once in a while we get out of sync and get these short names.

This is a general problem with the progress client side code, not the new server side code I've introduced. We also see it going against a standard C git daemon. I haven't been able to figure out a way to smooth out the messages.

FWIW, git-gui also gets this sort of progress corruption sometimes when it does a clone. So I've reproduced the same parsing bug in two different languages and two different implementations... ;-)
