Subject: How to build git-remote-http properly?
Message-ID: <4CD8A6FA.8030506@tut.by>

I have built git from sources, but git-remote-http[s] does not work: it 
sends invalid data.

While normal (the one from deb package) sends a thing like this: %%%

157b8e24592ee8a587da4aa19ae0d2b5395308dc refs/heads/master.

%%% from-souce git-remote-http sends things like this: %%%

%%% which causes http backend to reject the garbage and remote-http 
hangs or reports error.

What cause it? How to investigate/fix? May be there should be a test for 
git-remote-http integrity?
