Ah, yes it is! I just now tracked down the issue myself, and landed at the same conclution. The reason? Simple, I was pushing git from a directory with a recent git-binary, when my *installed* git was v1.6.4 ;)

Running "make install" before pushing fixed the issue.
Thanks for wasting time on my PEBCAK :)
