As a sidenote, 1.6.5 release crashes the same way.

After applying Shawn O. Pearce "Return of smart HTTP" patch series,
it no longer crashes, and "git clone http://github.com/loudej/spark.git" returns
"error: Unable to get pack file
http://github.com/loudej/spark.git/objects/pack/
pack-1bc121e71e2847622f814603ddb34444bfc6a16c.pack
The requested URL returned error: 502"
which seems to be more like a GitHub problem.

OTOH, cloning a local repositor serverd with mongoose works as expected:
"git clone http://192.168.194.24/test.git/"

Have a nice day,
