The following seems related:

commit 10e1feebb454d99eb6644cc53b94255f40e6fe9c
Author: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date:   Wed May 14 12:06:35 2014 -0700

    Revert "Merge branch 'fc/transport-helper-sync-error-fix'"
    
    This reverts commit d508e4a8e2391ae2596403b6478d01cf3d5f928f,
    reversing changes made to e42552135a2a396f37053a89f44952ea907870b2.
    
    The author of the original topic says he broke the upcoming 2.0
    release with something that relates to "synchronization crash
    regression" while refusing to give further specifics, so this would
    unfortunately be the safest option for the upcoming release.
