Still, it's enough. The request is obviously not getting back to the Git CGI for some reason. There are a number of headers that should have been returned after the first authed GET to /info/refs (lines 35-42 have the servers response). It should have:

< Content-Type: application/x-git-receive-pack-advertisement < Pragma: no-cache < Cache-Control: no-cache, max-age=0, must-revalidate

The Git CGI will set all of those. Since it's not, and it's setting things like ETags, it's not the Git CGI you're communicating with. Check the apache logs and see why it's not routing the request to the cgi.
