reproduced it on Ubuntu precise, git-1.7.9.5

When starting with an empty repo, adding the url as remote and calling git remote update origin:

But: refs/remotes/origin/master is added and looks sane (git fsck
shows no errors).
Subsequent 'git remote update' calls look good:
> Fetching origin

Even after manually removing the ref and re-running update, everything look fine:

> Fetching origin
> WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-5cWq1d/pkcs11: No such file or directory
> From https://git01.codeplex.com/entityframework

Their webserver seems to be configured quite restrictively (eg. cannot access files like 'packed-refs').

Is there a way to trace the actual HTTP calls ?
