No.  But you are running GIT before 1.0.0b.

Namely, this commit is needed to squelch the error message:

    commit 8ac4838af428a2a32498b3e8d13295eb714654b4
    Author: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
    Date:   Wed Dec 21 13:48:47 2005 -0800

        server-info: skip empty lines.

        Now we allow an empty line in objects/info/packs file, recognize
        that and stop complaining.
